I’m Tired. Aren’t You?

What’s in a Name? Picking Character Names
I have a word document that I started more than a decade ago with the names I wanted to give characters in a book. Sometimes I refer to it when I’m stuck on finding the right last name to go with the first. In Love’s Sweet Joy, the heroine is Monique Sinclair and just as […]
