I've been reading the Secret, Bone, and Book Society books (excited for the third one!), and I notice some of the characters share names of famous literary characters and that they share similar stories of those characters. Hester (Hester Prynne), Estella (Estella Havisham), Vanessa Macavity...). Are all the characters so strategically named? I couldn't find much about Nora or Jedidiah, so I was curious. Thanks!
Ellery Adams
You are very astute. Jed isn't included as I only did this with the women. Nora is from Nora Helmer of The Doll's House.
Very few people have identified the literary references, so you should be proud of yourself!

Hi Ellery I just wanted to reach out to say thank you for singing my all my books, that my daughter had in Tucson. I know she had WAY more than what the "typical" limit is! I love all of your books ..... the only down side for "us fans" is that we can read much faster than you can publish! Please know that there are lots of us out here waiting for your next book! Safe travels home! Did you have fun in Tucson?
