Yup. That's the title.
When I named it I had in mind the word 'Gemini', or 'twins', but I wanted a single one, a 'twin'. So I called it Geminus, thinking that sounded plausible as the singular form.
Then I Wikipedia'd the word 'geminus' and came up with some Greek astronomer from waaay back, and thought: "Hmmmm. That can't be good."
Then I tried Wikipedia'ing the word 'twins' and got a lot of poop about identical twins, non-identical twins, even half twins (which I would have thought an impossibility. Apparently not), which is all very interesting in a purely biological sense, but doesn't really help me any.
Anyway, long story short: by hopping through a few disambiguation links I eventually found this definition of the word Geminus on Wiktionary.
So I'd gotten it right all along. Which is a relief since I don't have a single idea what else to call this book.

- anilize has an imagination that's far too active for its own good; therefore she attempts to relieve the pressure by writing a novel, taking pictures and generally twisting reality into her very own image, which she then proceeds to throw at anyone who doesn't duck fast enough.

Did Latin at Uni and geninus, as a singular, is very unusual. The construction, "one of twins" is more common. I suspect that geminus is a late Latin or even medieval usage. I'll try & chase it up.
