I&#...Thank you so much for all the lovely comments! I've had a bit of a family emergency crop up today and have been tied up, but I really appreciate the kind words. So glad to hear that some of you have enjoyed my books or are rom. suspense fans! (Me, too... naturally!)<br /><br />Shari C.,<br />You asked about my characters' names. The truth is, it really varies. Sometimes I absolutely struggle, going through naming websites, the Houston phone book (frequent source of surnames) and flipping through magazines to piece together a character name that seems to belong to a person of the right age and background. Some combinations instinctively sound right or even help me to imagine what the person would be like. I sometimes change names several times when they don't "feel right." Other characters' names seem to pop out of the ether, and there's never any doubt as to who this person is. Occasionally, a character's name reflects his/her personality, but I try not to go overboard with this, instead preferring names that sound as if they might exist in the real world.<br /><br />I do have to be careful not to repeat myself from one book to the next, especially with the first names of major characters.<br /><br />Sandy,<br />I also write about subjects which concern me, especially injustices I'd like to explore. I often take real life news events and twist them around. It's a way of really examining my own thoughts in detail - part of the reason I find contemporary suspense so fascinating. And the romance keeps it close to my heart, too.<br /><br />Thanks again for having me, Christie! Night, everybody!Colleen Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18398127184158098008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4542417548623715196.post-1384154387606864132010-03-23T18:10:23.554-05:002010-03-23T18:10:23.554-05:00Great interview!!
