Christine asked Lisa Scottoline:

You have written so many novels, is it getting difficult to pick names for your characters? How do you pick a name? People are naming their children such odd names these days, if you start picking off names I could remember which books I have read already of yours. I love your books, thanks for sharing your talent with us.

Lisa Scottoline All these questions are so great! Thanks so much for taking the time to read and write me. Choosing names is difficult, especially as I write more and more books. I truly just make up the names, but as I write the book, often, I change the name to better suit the character. So many times, the character's original names change by the time I finish the novel. Thanks so much for being such a loyal reader. I feel honored. Best, L
