Lynn Painter OH, MY GOSH - I cannot believe you caught that!! :)

Some authors spend a lot of time carefully selecting names, whereas I (total slacker) spend mere moments. I literally glanced over at my bookshelves when I was drafting, and selected two authors' last names from the spines that were in my line of sight.

I honestly didn't even remember that was where they came from!

YOU are amazing - lol!!! :)
Hilly I thought Julie Buxbaum and Elizabeth Bennett (from pride and prejudice) at first, because her name is Liz (Elizabeth) and his last name Bennett so she split it up
