I need some ideas for character last
names. I need one that's slavic but is a
common last name. And sarah, I need a
good creole last name but nothing
stereotypical like fontenot, benoit,
bellefontaine, picard or boudreau. And I
need a good solid french first name to go
with it.

Okay i'm still working out the details on
this one. So i'm not a hundred percent
sure where i'm going with this one yet.
But the lovely creole lady that i'm trying
to find a name for is going to be a
journalist who is sent out on an
assignment to cover some sort of civil
unrest in a slavic nation. She's going
to make a some sort of major snaffoo (sp)
during a live report that's going to cause
quite a stink for her news company and get
her into a lot of trouble with the wrong
people. Her corporate credit card is
going to be frozen (don't know how yet),
stranding her in the middle of the bad
situation. Enter our native hero who
will of course vow to protect her with his
life, blah, blah. I'm really not big on
romances since they're so formulaic but
they're what's paying right now...

Will there be sex? 
it's so silly... I can walk into the
romance section of a bookstore, grab a
book, open it at random and someone will
either be having sex, touching someone
sexually, or thinking about having sex?
if you get published I want an autographed
copy!

you got it girlie! And you know there
will be. The funny thing is almost
everytime I open a romance novel to page
76 there's some sort of hankie pankie
going on. There've been a few times it
didn't work but it has most of the time.

to feel a bit dirty. my
husband reads them outloud inside the
store.
.I can just see you typing away, giggling
to yourself! Mmhmm, add a bit of "ooh"
here... Oh, and this definitely needs a
bit of "ahh"!

Lol. What do you think about nathalie as
a first name? Or maybe noemie...Hmmm.
It's easier to name characters if you want
to write their story...

Hey la girls,
has bourbon street changed much since
katrina? Was there a lot of damage in
the french quarter or no? I'm uncertain
what areas were relatively unharmed and
"noemie arceneaux" needs to visit a
little night spot in the french quarter
with some friends in the opening scene of
my book. I haven't been to la in a few
years (pre-katrina of course) and since
i'm going for a contemporary setting I
need to work with an undamaged area.

I live about 3 mins from .Burbon. And the
.French .Quarter. It didn't have any
flooding. Minimal damage. So writing
about it would be about the same as pre
katrina.
