How did you come up with the names for your characters in the Darkwater Saga?
Patrick W. Carr
For any book I usually do a lot of language research. To me, it makes the book feel intrinsically more familiar and strange at the same time. For the Darkwater Saga I used a lot of old English roots. For the Staff and the Sword, I tended more toward Latin, though I used a few other languages as well when my characters traveled.
