Naming characters
Fun post here at Anne R Allen’s blog: Naming Fictional Characters: 10 Tips to Avoid Pitfalls
Ooh, pitfalls! This is a great way to sell the post. First, I just thought of a handful of characters with TERRIBLE names that just about killed the story,** and second, I instantly want to know what Anne R Allen sees as specific pitfalls where authors go wrong.
Well, she starts by explaining some methods she uses to name her characters:
For me, spam is turning out to be one of the best places to find unique names. Every week I cull a few from my email and blog spam folders. … And I love the creativity of the three-first-names catfishers who try to friend me on Facebook. I’m using the catfisher name “Brownie David Jack” in my current WIP, Catfishing in America.
Oh, that’s funny! An actual use for spam! Who knew? This is making me think of the fake guys who try to get women to Friend them on Facebook. Sexy Older Guy In Sexy Pose, with no posts and no photos, but a friend in common because somebody got suckered into hitting “friend.” I used to get quite a lot of those fake friend requests, but maybe Facebook has tweaked something, because the Sexy Older Guy Friend Request seems to have become less common in the past year or so. Or maybe I just haven’t been on Facebook enough to get targeted lately.
This is not yet a post about naming pitfalls, though. Oh, here we go: But beware. There can be pitfalls. Okay, let’s see what those are …
a) Google your characters’ names.
I have to confess, I never think of doing this. Let me see. Well, it looks like nearly all the hits for “Ezekiel Korte” comes back to my character. Whew!
Anyway, this is only going to matter for contemporary and contemporary-ish settings, of course. Allen does provide a persuasive anecdote about why it’s sometimes unfortunate to accidentally name your character after someone with the same name and a too-similar background.
b) Choose names that fit the character.
Good advice! It’s just that the author’s feeling about what name suits the character may not agree with readers’ perceptions of the fitness of that name. I don’t know what to do about that except cross my fingers that readers will like the name “Ezekiel Korte” as much as I do.
This is making me think of someone explaining — Craig, was that you? — that Tolkien meant to call Aragorn “Trotter” rather than “Strider” for an astonishingly long time after developing the character. THERE is an example of a name (nickname, whatever) that totally does not fit the character AT ALL.
I will add here that Terry Pratchett’s character names absolutely do not work for me. I mean, Sam Vimes, sure. But I hate, hate, hate that he saddled Carrot with the name Carrot. That character is too serious a character to deserve that stupid name.
My advice is, when in doubt, do NOT give your character a deliberately stupid name. And always be in doubt about that.
c) Choose names that begin with different letters.
Yes! Also, we need an alphabet with more than 26 letters. It’s just impossible to stick to this rule throughout an entire long series, however excellent a rule it may be.
Worse still, it’s easy to introduce a very minor character without worrying about this. His name is only going to occur a handful of times, so it’s fine! Then, oops, he turns into a more important character than you realized in Book Three and suddenly you have a problem.
That’s what happened with Cassandra and Carissa in the Black Dog world. I had no idea how bad a name choice “Carissa” was going to be. Hence declaring that she’s going to call herself Riss. I mean, what else was I supposed to do?
If you start names with the same letter, you can cheat — if you think ahead — by making the names dramatically different lengths or by giving one a lot of tall letters and the other only short letters, or both. If one ends in a tall letter and the other in a short letter, that helps. But yes, I agree, it’s nice if you can make it through the book without ever giving two characters names that start with the same letter.
d) Avoid generic names.
Yes, probably a good idea to pick only names that aren’t in the top fifty baby names of the moment.
e) Choose names that are creative but pronounceable.
Well, I do my best. Sometimes. Not with the griffin names, of course. I think nearly all the names in the Tuyo world are pretty easy to pronounce. I’ve had just one person comment about “Inhejeriel.” Actually, I think that’s very pronounceable. Just line the syllables up in a row and spit them out. I was going for a somewhat Tolkien-Elvish look there, that’s all. I know the other Tarashana names are harder. But they only occur just a tiny handful of times. If we ever go back into the starlit lands, I may well regret giving them such difficult names. I guess I could come up with character names that were in the same basic theme but easier to recognize and pronounce, if necessary.
My mother asked where I came up with the names in the Tenai trilogy and I actually remember even though I wrote this story so long ago: I have a handy handbook of the mammals of Borneo. That’s where almost all the character and place names came from, usually with a letter or two changed.
f) Name only Featured Players, not Walk-Ons.
It’s a tough call, deciding who’s important enough to get a name and who isn’t. I don’t know if I always call it correctly.
Allen offers a handful more tips, with a bonus link to genre name generators — click through to the post if you’re interested — I will add that I had to laugh at the fantasy names. I wouldn’t have used any of those! But if I were really stuck, that would be a way to get started.
There’s also an important bonus tip that I can fervently second:
Bonus tip: Run a final search-and-replace if you change a character’s name.
Absolutely! But! If you do a find-and-replace, be AWARE THAT YOU CAN SCREW UP RANDOM WORDS THAT WAY.
My personal favorite — not a name — was when I did a find-and-replace to replace “arrow” with “bolt” because I changed bows to crossbows partway through the story. “Arrow” is not a piece of very many words, but it does happen. I suddenly had spbolts fluttering here and there through the pages of the story…
The other times to run a search on a character’s name:
–You are replacing that character with a different character. You better get the replacement complete or you will be super embarrassed later.
–You are removing a character from the story. Again, you have to get every. single. instance. of that character out of the story. It can be stunningly difficult to get them all. Always do a find. Never rely on your own reading skills to do this kind of task.
** Pug in Raymond Feist’s Riftwar Saga. I mean … seriously … Pug? There has never, in the entire history of epic fantasy, been an epic fantasy character with a worse name.
By all means, prove me wrong by dropping your contender for “worst ever epic fantasy name in the comments.

Available for preorder
Just letting you know — up for preorder on Amazon at this very moment:



I set the release date for May 15th. That’s a generous allowance of time to let me finish a final proofing run. I’m getting a clean paper copy for each book and reading it myself, in paper, with a pencil in my hand. This is not too tedious, as I still do like this story. Unfortunately, though I’m not finding that many actual typos — about three per hundred pages, which is in fact just about what I expected — I can’t help but make one million tiny changes to the text as I go. That means that making the corrections IS extremely tedious, but so it goes.
It’s a little odd to think that no one but me will notice these tiny changes. Yet the reason no one will notice them is because this sort of thing smooths out the text just that little bit more. Some of you might have noticed an occasional awkwardness of word choice or phrasing if I hadn’t made these final adjustments; who knows? I’ll tell myself you would have noticed and now you won’t and that’s why the extra two or three or four hours of work per book is worthwhile.
The actual typos I found in The Year’s Midnight included a missing period, quote marks turned the wrong way in three places, “iceberg” spelled “icberg,” and an obvious verb tense error. ALL of those errors were missed by a minimum of three different people, including “icberg,” which is frankly incredible. My hat is definitely off to professional copy editors.

Affect vs Effect
Here is a post about the two grammatical items people most often get wrong, with “affect vs effect” being the first of those items.
TIP: When used as a noun, effect will usually have an article in front of it: the effect, an effect, the uncertainty effect, to have an effect, etc. A clue to the use of effect and affect as verbs is the presence of a helping verb in front of them: will effect [a change], may affect.
And so on. This is a fine post, not so long it falls into the tl;dr category– clear and helpful partly because it’s rather brief.
Now. Back when I was writing papers in grad school, including my master’s thesis, I had to sort out this particular pair of terms. There are zero good synonyms for either word. If you write real science papers, you are going to be using both over and over and over, and at that point you have to figure out how to feel which word is correct in which usage quickly and accurately or you will go nuts.
That was even more true before the control-f command would let you quickly find and look at each instance of each word. It was probably even more true than that before grammar checkers, but since I turn grammar checkers off, I’m not sure how reliable they are with these two words.
So, in case it helps someone else, here’s how I sorted this out.
Quickly change the tense of the sentence from past to present or vice versa. Did “effect” change? Then it should have been “affect,” because the thing that changes when you change verb tense is a verb. This is easier than just saying, “Hey, is that thing there a verb?” You can just stare at a sentence for a shockingly long time wondering if you ever really learned what verbs are or what. Rather than doing that, change the verb tense of the sentence and poof! The verbs jump up waving little flags.
Anyway, that’s what worked for me. That’s what I did in my head, over and over, until I stopped having to ask myself whether to use “affect” or “effect.”
While it’s true that “effect” can be a verb, no one has to worry about that because it doesn’t come up very often and when it does, you’ll notice. Ditto for “affect” as a noun.
I do like noticing that “effect” usually takes an article in front of it. I don’t believe I ever taught myself to look for that, but sure, that’s another good way to quickly and easily check which word you ought to be using.

Recent reading: The Collar and the Cavvarach by Annie Douglass Lima
This is the first book of a series; a sort of alternate history story based in a world that’s pretty nearly like our world, IF we’d kept two crucial social institutions from Classical Rome: widespread slavery (not race-based) and gladiatorial combat.

Bensin, a teenage slave and martial artist, is desperate to see his little sister freed. But only victory in the Krillonian Empire’s most prestigious tournament will allow him to secretly arrange for Ellie’s escape. Dangerous people are closing in on her, however, and Bensin is running out of time. With his one hope fading quickly away, how can Bensin save Ellie from a life of slavery and abuse?
This is a MG or youngish YA story. If we’re going with the definition that in YA, a young protagonist takes an irrevocable step from childhood into adulthood, then I’d call this story middle grade, because Bensin doesn’t really do that. So, I’d say this story is at the top end of MG.
I haven’t been reading many new-to-me books lately — I’m too busy with my own stuff and don’t need the distraction of a five-book 2000-page epic fantasy series just now. That’s one reason I picked up this story. I thought a shortish novel, fast-paced, with a pretty simple, direct plot and a happy or at least happy-ish ending, would be a good choice. This novel looked like it would fit the bill.
Good call! I really liked this story, which was all of the above.
The Pros:
The world is a fun one to read about.
As long you don’t sit there trying to poke holes in it, the world works fine. It’s a contemporary-ish setting with lots of slavery plus gladiatorial combat, but just go with it. I mentioned Rome because the attitudes toward slavery and gladiators seem similar, but you won’t get anything of the actual flavor of Classical Rome here. Cars and computers and lawnmowers, normal clothing and pretty standard modern architecture as far as the reader can tell, so it all seems pretty much like normal life, basically. This is actually a secondary world; the story takes place in a large empire, a lot of slaves are taken in conquest, but that’s all background.
The characters are engaging.
Bensin really, really wants to get his little sister out of slavery. That’s a clear, overriding, highly sympathetic motivation. His methods for getting this to work may be a trifle, let’s say, naïve, but given his background, it seems reasonable that he doesn’t know how to do this in a more sensible way.
Bensin is engaging and earnest and very good at a sport called Cavara Shil, which uses a dull weapon and padding. Gladiators use the same weapon, but sharp and without the padding, but Bensin doesn’t spend a lot of time thinking about that — he’s involved in the sport, not the real combat.
Steene is a cavara coach who’s down on his luck and rather impulsively decides to purchase a young slave who can help him teach the sport and whom he can train to the top levels of competition, thus raising his own reputation. He’s a nice guy, the sort of person who doesn’t approve of slavery, but here he is, with this kid to train. He doesn’t know about Bensin’s little sister, and Bensin certainly isn’t going to mention that his primary loyalty is to his sister, not to his owner.
The writing is excellent.
The writing isn’t showy, but it’s smooth, with good pacing throughout. We get scenes from Steene’s pov as well as Bensin’s pov, and both work. I’m glad the author didn’t shy away from adding an adult pov to a MG story. That was a very suitable technique here and worked well.
The descriptions of cavara shil and the tournaments were a lot of fun. The last tournament, I thought I could see how the author was going to have to make it come out, but I wasn’t sure she could sell it. But she did. That scene was exciting and believable and satisfying. I actually did stay up just a bit later than usual to finish that scene, and I never stay up late because I always get up early, so that was very unusual for me.
The Cons:
As I think I’ve mentioned before, a lot of MG fiction reads too young for my personal preferences, particularly if the protagonist is too impulsive, too foolish, or both. Bensin comes close to that. I had a sporadic but intense desire to shake him and yell, “JUST TELL HIM THE TRUTH,” much like the genie in Disney’s Aladdin. While his background means he probably couldn’t figure out a good escape plan for Ellie, he definitely should have realized he couldn’t trust the person he paid to cut off her collar. If he’d made an attempt at putting together a reasonable Plan B for if and when Plan A blew up in his face, that would have been nice. Telling Steene the truth might well have constituted a reasonable Plan B, and I’m not sure why Bensin never thought of that.
I will add, he was VERY rushed when it came to the last-minute escape attempt, for good reasons. Given another month to think things through, he might have some up with a more complete Plan A or a reasonable Plan B.
Now, this next bit isn’t a critique; it’s an observation.
In a world like this, there ought to be an Underground Railroad type of thing; more than one, probably. I can’t see how there could fail to be this sort of quasi-organization, given that there have to be a lot of people like Steen, who don’t approve of slavery on moral grounds; and this is a big empire with a complex society; and there are places for slaves to theoretically run to — the countries that aren’t in the empire o aren’t tightly controlled by the empire.
There is no reason why Steene would know much or anything about that sort of organization, but if there’s any sort of political movement against slavery within the empire, he ought to know about that. Again, there’s no reason why Bensin would know anything real about an Underground Railroad, but I can’t imagine why there aren’t rumors and stories about that kind of organization. In fact, there ought to be rumors like that even if there isn’t such an organization.
If there IS a movement like that, then Officer Shiga ought to be a member. In fact, he ought to be an important conductor.
In the story, Officer Shiga is a police officer who’s got a fundamentally sound sense of justice, but who nevertheless enforces unjust laws. I think he might be my favorite character. If this were *my* story, he would be a good cop, but he would also be a conductor in some important anti-slavery movement or organization, because that would be just a neat thing to do.
And, since I haven’t read the other two books in the series, maybe he is! I can hope for that, at least.
I’m reading the second book now. I’m just past the setup, and yep, this one is also obviously going to be a fast-paced exciting story. Bensin’s certainly in a pickle. I think I know how he’s going to get out of it, and I’m looking forward to seeing if I’m right.

Progress report
Okay! We’re halfway through April. That was fast. I’m feeling pretty happy with the month so far.
First, I’m still fiddling around with proofreading for the Death’s Lady trilogy. I’m trying something new — I’m re-reading a clean copy in paper with a pencil in my hand. This is just like going over page proofs from a traditional publisher. I’m therefore actually making a relatively large-ish number of very small changes, plus I’ve caught just a few actual mistakes. Judging form Tarashana, I ought to catch about 30 typos per 900 (Kindle adjusted) pages, or pretty close to three per 100 pages. I’ll be curious how close that is to reality. Also, I’ll be curious if you all catch any after all this. I’m hoping that your collective sharp eyes catch fewer than five for the whole trilogy, but we’ll see.
The above is going to take a little while. I’m doing it largely right before bed, instead of reading other stuff for fun. So I’ll put these books up for pre-order in a few days, but most likely I’ll select the middle of May as the actual release date. That should give me ample time to finish up proofing even though I’m also working on other things.
Second, I finished The Kids’ Story for the upcoming Black Dog collection this morning. (Beats me what the actual title will be.) I wrote 50 pages or so, and then I wasn’t sure I took the plot in quite the right direction, so I paused. I got back to it this week and finished it up at 80 pp, or about 25,000 words. That’s a good length — close to the length I prefer for these stories. The story opens practically the minute Tommy’s first story closes and covers his first 24 hours with Dimilioc. He has an eventful 24 hours, I must say, and the story sets up two plot elements that will be further developed in Silver Circle. I mean, unless I change my mind. But it’s nice to use the stories to set things up for the next novel.
I am a bit peeved that two of the stories in the 3rd collection take place after Copper Mountain. That wasn’t my intention! I prefer to have all the stories in a collection take place between the books, except for prequels that happened a long time ago. Initially, I thought I would be setting Copper Mountain some time after Shadow Twin, but that’s not how it worked out. This time, Silver Circle really should take place a good while after Copper Mountain, so there’s plenty of time for other stuff to happen. Tommy joining Dimilioc is one of those things. It wasn’t going to be an important thing, except for him, but now it kind of is because of the other stuff that happens. I have also now hinted around something that Thaddeus has been doing, so I need to decide what that was and write a story from his pov about that.
Next up, though, is taking a good look at the comments I have here about this one SF novel, working title No Foreign Sky, and seeing what I can do with that in the next couple of weeks. I’ve read the comments through twice, and this revision may be a little more extensive than I was hoping, but a lot of it involves cutting, which is (a) not fun, but (b) often not that time consuming. I will probably take a stab at this over the weekend and see how it goes.

Should you write every day?
A good post from Chuck Wendig: Should Writers Write Every Day?
Here’s the money quote:
The greatest advice I think I offer to writers these days is to Know Thyself. Which is to say, figure out who you are as a writer. Your processes are your own to discover. Your voice is your own to seek and to find. Who you are and what you write and further, how you write, is something literally nobody else can tell you. So, should you write every day? Some will tell you YES YES YES, some will tell you NO NO NO, but the answer is, well, shit, I dunno. It’s both. It’s neither. All/none of the above. Maybe it’ll help you. Maybe it’ll hurt you. Maybe it’ll do the one until it does the other, because things work… until they don’t.
Yep, that.

Writing in a pov not your own
At Kill Zone Blog, this post from James Scott Bell: Writing in a Point of View Not Your Own
Turns out Bell has a series of novellas about “a crime-fighting nun, Sister Justicia Marie of the Sisters of Perpetual Justice.”
I’ve written here before about the genesis of this character. How my son, who loves plays on words, said I should write about a nun who fights crime with martial arts skills. “You could call it Force of Habit.”
He smiled. I smiled. And then I said, “I think I’ll do it.” …
Having never been a nun…or a woman…I gravitated toward Third Person from the jump. That does not mean I couldn’t take a stab at First Person. Unlike some of the “wisdom” of the age, I say let a writer do what he or she will and let the market decide. I just felt more comfortable in Third.
Well, that’s a kind of fun idea for a series of thrillers or mysteries or whatever. There’s a link here to the upcoming collection of Bell’s novellas about Sister Justicia Marie, at a very good price, too. Dorothy Gilman did something of the same sort with A Nun in the Closet. That was a good story. I think I’ll go ahead and preorder this Sister Justicia collection; sounds like fun.
But I think this “can you write in a pov not your own” question has GOT to be a question asked by writers of contemporary fiction. Especially because Bell declares that research is key! Go interview some nuns! That’s fine if you’re writing a story set in this world, but I can’t be the only fantasy author who chuckles at that idea.
Let me see. Male pov protagonists …
The Floating Islands … Alas, I’ve never been able to use dragon magic to fly.
Black Dog … I’m not a werewolf of any sort.
The Land of Burning Sands … I’m not a male slave with a gift for making things.
Winter of Ice and Iron … I’m not a duke, and thank heaven I don’t share my soul with a powerful genius loci.
And, of course,
Tuyo … which I wrote in the first person even though I’m not a male warrior from a warrior culture.
So, yes, pretty sure it can be done, and done well.
I don’t think research is key. I mean, how could it be? I think having lived life and having formed a general idea about how people behave now and how people have behaved in other cultures — that’s the key. Plus, especially for Tuyo, which is admittedly somewhat idealized, a pretty clear picture of how people ought to behave.

While on the subject of mysteries —
So, yesterday, I posted a link to a Book Riot post about fantasy mysteries and added a couple more to the list, including a Sherlock Holmes homage by Katherine Addison.
Today, continuing the them, I’d like to point to this post at Crime Reads: THE 100 BEST, WORST, AND STRANGEST SHERLOCK HOLMES PORTRAYALS OF ALL-TIME, RANKED
Wow! is my immediate response. Who knew there had been so many Sherlock Holmes portrayals that somebody could rank a hundred of them?
Even though I’m admittedly not a particular fan of Sherlock Holmes, this post is immediately intriguing. Who’s the best? Even more interesting, who’s the worst? Since I don’t have a horse in this race, I can look at this list with perfect equanimity.
Okay, the worst:
100. Henry Cavill, Enola Holmes (2020)
Henry Cavill’s Holmes, a distant older brother to the plucky teenage protagonist Enola (Millie Bobby Brown), is brawny, stony, stiff, and altogether dull. In a performance that consists mostly of staring out from windows and filling out a navy double-breasted frock coat, nothing about Cavill’s performance suggests intelligence or even rumination of any kind. Interestingly, Arthur Conan Doyle’s estate sued the film for making Holmes appear too sensitive, which is funny, because I’ve seen calabash pipes with greater depth.
And the best:
1. Jeremy Brett, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (1984-1985), etc.
I think first place has to go to Jeremy Brett, whose long-running Holmes (from 1984 to 1994) is both serious and brilliantly diagnostic while also being a tiny bit absurd (Brett’s Holmes, though rather unsmiling, does lean into Holmes’s nutty penchant for disguise and performance). He might be a flash more arrogant than Doyle’s Holmes, but he’s never overweening; he’ll even occasionally burst out laughing or grin with excitement. He also says great things like: “You are the stormy petrel of crime, Watson.” A faultless performance. CASE. CLOSED.
I have to admit, I love the line: You are the stormy petrel of crime, Watson.

Oh, hey, look at this!
The Goblin Emperor came out in, looks like 2014. I knew it was some years ago. As you all have probably noticed, I loved this book. I still love it. I’ve read it many times, and these days generally read parts of it rather than the whole thing straight through.
Way back, a year or so after The Goblin Emperor came out, I saw hints that Katherine Addison was writing a sequel. I eventually gave up on ever seeing that actually in print, though, and figured that one thing or another had derailed it. Too bad! But it happens.
Well, the sequel is now up on Amazon, available for preorder. It’s coming out pretty soon — looks like June — so that’s fantastic.

When the young half-goblin emperor Maia sought to learn who had set the bombs that killed his father and half-brothers, he turned to an obscure resident of his father’s Court, a Prelate of Ulis and a Witness for the Dead. Thara Celehar found the truth, though it did him no good to discover it. He lost his place as a retainer of his cousin the former Empress, and made far too many enemies among the many factions vying for power in the new Court. The favor of the Emperor is a dangerous coin.
Now Celehar lives in the city of Amalo, far from the Court though not exactly in exile. He has not escaped from politics, but his position gives him the ability to serve the common people of the city, which is his preference. He lives modestly, but his decency and fundamental honesty will not permit him to live quietly. As a Witness for the Dead, he can, sometimes, speak to the recently dead: see the last thing they saw, know the last thought they had, experience the last thing they felt. It is his duty use that ability to resolve disputes, to ascertain the intent of the dead, to find the killers of the murdered.
Now Celehar’s skills lead him out of the quiet and into a morass of treachery, murder, and injustice. No matter his own background with the imperial house, Celehar will stand with the commoners, and possibly find a light in the darkness.
This is not quite the sequel I most wanted — I would have liked a sequel that focused on the soon-to-be Empress — but I’ll take it. I do hope we actually get to see Maia again.

Fantasy Mysteries
Here’s a Book Riot post: 15 FANTASY MYSTERY BOOKS FOR READERS CRAVING A MAGICAL WHODUNIT
Remarkably, I’ve read a reasonable proportion of the books on this list — a third. I’m rarely familiar with the titles picked out for Book Riot posts, but this is an exception. Besides that, I even agree that these books are good choices. Especially Sorcery and Cecelia, which as you all know (right?) is totally charming.
However, this is one of those lists where I can immediately think of a bunch of others. Let me see …
Okay:
1) The Inspector Chen novels by Liz Williams. Such an amazing setting, although I will always regret not getting to see the prequel moment when Inspector Chen meets and falls in love with his demon wife.
2) Shadow of the City by R Morgan. A police procedure tucked into an even more amazing setting.
3) The Sherlock Holmes homage, The Angel of the Crows, by Katherine Addison. I haven’t read it, and don’t plan to — I’m not a Sherlock Holmes fan — but hey, it certainly fits the category.
4) The Tea Master and the Detective, by Aliette de Bodard, which certainly has the prettiest cover of the lot:

5. The Beka Cooper series by Tamora Pierce, which I loved, so if you’ve never read them, well, if you’re looking for some longer, slower-paced, fantasy-mysteries, here you go.
I’m sure there are a zillion others. If you’ve got a favorite fantasy mystery, please drop it in the comments!
