Joanne: How interesting that you brought up character names in a book. Besides wondering about the auburn hair syndrome, I also wonder about names. It seems that every author tends to name the characters with similar names such as James, John and Josiah as opposed to James, Fred and Bob.
I may put a book down for a couple days and when I pick it up I find it difficult to decipher people with similar names.
I wonder why authors do this. Maybe to get us to read with more thought????
I just put a sticky in the front of a book and explain who they are briefly for quick reference.
Maybe Ms. Harris can answer these questions for us.
