Stephen Coonts stole my book!
...actually, just stole my title.

I wrote a book last year called Deep Black, and my father-in-law just gave me a copy of Coonts' new-ish thriller, called Deep Black....

Of course you can't copyright or claim ownership to a title. Which is probably just as well, since it turns out I looked on Amazon and there's a William E. Burrows book about spy-work from the 80's called (yep) Deep Black.

Clearly there are no new ideas. :eyes: I'm going to call my next book either "War and Peace" or "The Bible"....
