'The Names' is a story about a woman who might feel that she's in a kind of maze. She's unable to find her way forward or out because she can't see the whole picture.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
'The Names' is planned as a nine-part series. I have a kind of road map: I know the final scene of episode nine. But as to exactly how we get there, what detours or horrible accidents we might have to pass through, I like to keep that a little fluid.
In both 'Tigerman' and my first book, 'The Gone-Away World,' there are characters who never really get names. They're too fundamentally who they are to be bound by a name, so I couldn't give them one.
'Mandie and the Secret Tunnel' - the book and now the movie - pits a very young woman against forces she cannot control and events she cannot possibly know about. She's in way over her head, and you're pulling for her from the opening scene.
Most of the names in my books have secondary meaning. Sometimes they foreshadow; sometimes they tell you about the character's origin or back story.
I thought I would keep the first name Susan and change the last name but I picked up this book and as I opened it the lead character in it was called Morgan Brittany.
It's about a father and daughter and the daughter's friend and her relationship with her current husband.
I never read 'The Cinderella Complex' - I'm too afraid that my name might be in it.
Names are what people sometimes use to excuse their thoughts and actions towards you.
Apart from being Jennifer Lewis. The name pulls people in.
First you forget names, then you forget faces. Next you forget to pull your zipper up and finally, you forget to pull it down.
