the countdown begins/Tuesday Trivia
Only one more month until my October Desire, WHEN THE LIGHTS GO DOWN, starts showing up in stores. Wha-hoo, I can't wait!
To help count down the remaining weeks before LIGHTS is released, I thought I'd start something new--& hopefully fun. Every Tuesday, I'm going to post a bit of trivia (i.e. useless, but interesting information :-)) about LIGHTS that no one knows & you won't find in the actual book.
For instance, today's fun fact has to do with Ethan's & Gwen's names...
Did you know that Gwen Thomas's name is a combination of "Gwen Harrison" & "Eddie Thomas", the two leading characters from one of my favorite movies, AMERICA'S SWEETHEARTS? And while Ethan is simply a name I've always liked, his last name--Banks--is a tip of my hat to friend & fellow Desire author Leanne Banks. (I don't even think she knows that yet! :-))
And in BLAME IT ON THE BLACKOUT, the prequel to WHEN THE LIGHTS GO DOWN, Peter Reynolds's name came from "Peter Riggs" on STRONG MEDICINE (okay, so I have a small crush) & "Mal Reynolds" on FIREFLY (we already know how I feel about that show). Lucy is another name I've always liked, but her last name--Grainger--came from "Hermione Grainger" in the Harry Potter books.
See...useless, but kind of interesting & fun. :-D
Here's a hint about next week's Tuesday Trivia: Can you guess the song that the title WHEN THE LIGHTS GO DOWN was inspired by? Can you name the artist?
