If you write short stories, you'd know there is almost no title that doesn't exist already. After racking my brain for the tittle of a short story, I settled for "The God that Never Was" only to google it and find several things. I was disappointed but I learnt that day that nothing is really new. It could have been a coincidence.

How can a writer who has in the last twenty years been consistently among the top 10 bestselling writers in the world decide to steal your book title?

Let's even leave the fact that you cannot copyright book titles. You can't even copyright an idea.

The woman just wants to trend. Nora Roberts (even though I don't read her books) is a far more accomplished writer than what's-her-name Adeyemi. Ms Adeyemi should come back after she has sold 400 million books. She has of course killed any plan for a formal publishing career with this insipid action.

If it was the other way around, would the American author be blasted as did Nigerian? The fact remains that Nora Roberts had titled her book in the same form as Toni Adeyemi's.

Don't mind the children of hate..

Of course, there's no copyright protection for a book title. The Adeyemi woman was just trolling. But I do give her credit sha ... the lady take style promote her book. This is what we call FREE MARKETING.


O pari

dominique:
I'm with Nora on this one. There are millions of fiction books out there. It's not strange if one or two titles look and sound similar. She can only accuse her of theft if the plots and storylines of both books are similar.

Now, let me ask you this; Did you know Tomi before this post? Is she as relevant as Nora that basically everyone here knows? Have you read Tomi's "best sellers" blood and bones? Have you not heard about blood and bones before this novel?
Stop being stupid because google makes your "research" easy.

By the way, there is a clear difference between Tomi's "Children of blood and bones" aand Nora's "Of blood and bones".

Maybe you were living under the rock...
The book was featured on the BBC

I browse the BBC religiously and I have heard about it some months back.

I go through BBC news, metro.co.uk, CNN and daily UK everyday so, don't think you're the most updated. I asked you if you've read it or not but you consciously dodged the question.
Besides, if you think I'm here to "read" news, then you've already lost it. Most news here are already stale except it's a live happening though. I'm here to interact.
And, I noticed that you willingly refused to respond to the title difference.
Just a reminder; "Children of blood and bone" and "Of blood and bone" are totally different.
I'm done with this discussion.
I offer you peace of mind.

This one just wants to use Nora Roberts to gain popularity. Guerilla strategy.

She is already popular. Her book "children of blood and bones" has even been adapted to a movie and woukd be released next year.

Tomi might have made a mistake but she has definitely not killed her career. This is her first book and it has already been optioned for a movie and was number one the New York Times best-selling list. I actually regretted reading the book because I'll now have to wait for the second book. So you can't blame her for thinking Nora wanted to ride on her book's success.
