Fiorella woke up late, but she woke up running. As she dressed and fixed her hair, she mulled over a new name for one of her minor characters in WHERE THE HEART LEADS. She'd already come to the conclusion that "Bart" wouldn't work because it sounded too much like the name of another minor character, Buck, and the two guys were now in close proximity.
Fio ran over names by going through the alphabet and trying to remember which initial letters had already been used--or overused--in the book so far. Also, she was looking for one-syllable names . . . but why? Why have Fiorella's masculine names always been one syllable?
To make a long story short, Bart is now Sammy.
