It's possible that:
* The title is incorrect or slightly different: Maybe you're thinking of a different title, or there's a typo. Can you double-check the title or provide more context?
* It's a lesser-known or self-published novel: If it's not a mainstream book, it might be harder to find information about it online.
* You're thinking of a short story: It could be a short story instead of a full novel.
To help me find the author, please provide:
* The full title of the novel: Is there any subtitle?
* Any additional details: Do you know anything about the plot or genre? Do you know where you encountered the title (e.g., a bookstore, a library, online)?
