While finishing up my new novel Temperance Hill: Journal of Desire, I hit a snag on naming streets and landmarks.
Then it hit me. How about honoring some of my friends.
I told a friend that I would name a nearby town for her and her husband.
She was thrilled. An email from her said she had always wanted to be in a book, other than her teenage diary.
So why not get a little more creative.
Her dream of becoming a doctor was sidetracked when she married. So I will name the Temperance Hill hospital in her honor. Her husband, a banker, will have his name on the town bank.
My fictional Temperance Hill is getting ready to open a new high school. I will name it for my high school principal.
This is getting to be fun!
