Rowan has always sounded like a girl's name to me. A tomboyish name, sure, but a girl's name all the same. I had no idea it was actually a boy's name. It's funny, my parents keep pronouncing it "row-anne" and that makes it EXTRA girly, lol.

I have a lot of minor characters. Tons probably, between the siblings of my MC's to the villains.

I look up alot of potential names for my Second Generation.

Rowan it said was of Gaelic origin, meaning "little red one". In my books i was thinking it would be Oliver's child's name. (because he's a redhead hehehhehehe)

Lol that's awesome. Yeah, I realized that when I wrote Freak's name. :D People called him that so much when he was a kid that he kind of just adopted it as his name. Greyson tried to explain the meaning behind it, but Freak won't listen.

I think it's funny how we all have character name connections.

I have a Grey, you have a Greyson. :) There's also the Robbie/Ashley/Freak connection y'all were talking about earlier.

Joe, Anneliese, Caden (who is mostly referred to as Jerk throughout almost the entire thing), and Paige are pretty much the only main characters. Other people pop up but most aren't mentioned ever again. Except one girl, the very first girl Joe helped as Robin Hood. She pops up again during the build up to the climax. And I'm thinking of mentioning her and her new boyfriend before the build up to the climax.

yeah it is funny with all the connections. Another connection is that my character Ally would really really really hate your city because her ability as a Freak, is lying.

Hey, Tally, I remember you said you loved writing queries. Do you think you could possibly go check out mine? If you don't want to, that's fine, but I figured I'd ask. :)

Oh my God i'm the same way right now Cash!!! Pip and Laura!!!! Its not till the very very end but i just CANT WAIT!!!

See i've come up with a dilemma in my series, I really came up with some awesome ideas for more books, but my characters will be too old. So i'm thinking about continuing my series with an adult book or mini series spin off

I know the feeling. :D I've been dying for my MC's to kiss and they keep putting it off.

HA! In Bloodlines, I planned for my MCs to kiss at the end and...five chapters in, they kissed. Um...thanks, guys, for ruining my outline.

Bloodlines is horrible. Absolutely horrible. It's confusing and convoluted and there is ZERO reason for it to be that way. But it was my first book and I'll always love it, haha.

My characters are always screwing up my outline. Among other things, they were supposed to kiss about halfway through and then they wanted to push it back to about three-quarters and now they're saying they won't kiss until the very end.

If I didn't love them so much, I'd kill them.
