Into the Fire

So what's in a name? 

Questions authors are often asked: How do you find the names for your characters? 

Speaking only for myself, they just appear to me. Not a very satisfactory answer, is it? But it's the truth. I don't use name books or scour anything with multiple names listed. 

I have been known to give some extra thought to acquiring the "right" name for a character, finally knowing when it's just "right." 

Simplistic but authentic. I know these "people" and their names must suit them. I'm satisfied I get them "right."

Thank you, Lord, for giving me character names, stories, words, the works. Apart from you, I can do nothing. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
