I hope people will love Evangeline despite herself. She has every reason to be stressed out. :) Poor thing.<br /><br />The name Dante just hit me early on. Since his mother lived in a time when classical was all the rage, it worked well. I had to work on a name for Evangeline. Nothing seemed to fit. Then I was friended on FB by an Evangeline, and I knew that had to be it. I did some research and was disappointed as it was frequently brought out that the name seemed to originate in the US during the Civil War. I keep searching, because I just had to have that name. It is who she is! And then I found an Evangeline in England in the right time period. That was good enough for me--just one. I was so pleased!<br /><br />Thanks for your comments, and I look forward to learning about your book. :)<br /><br />Debra Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03256313302199653185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6160522196101988098.post-79275778935402274712014-04-13T10:30:38.338-07:002014-04-13T10:30:38.338-07:00What a lovely idea!

I'm currently working on a historical fiction novel and I'd love to join in!<br /><br />Evangeline sounds like a really interesting heroine - it's great to see an anxiety disorder like OCD being brought up in a historical novel. I don't think I've come across anything like that before!<br /><br />Also Evangeline and Dante are brilliant character names. Good luck on your publishing journey! :)Jess @ Jessticulateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03081569733749956845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6160522196101988098.post-71604322693058537062014-04-09T08:21:20.209-07:002014-04-09T08:21:20.209-07:00Thanks, Sophie!

She is so real to me, and so close to me, that it is lonely being the only person who knows her. Beta readers, too, know her, but they have to focus on a lot of other things and can't spend too much time sympathizing. :) Thanks!

It is never a good idea to depend too much on someone or something to make your happiness. She is a poetess, you said, I think she should turn to the world of her imagination first, find happiness there and then move on to real things...

One thing that comes across is that her problems could easily be translated to modern life and it shows that although people may have lived in different eras with different mind sets,they possess the same human frailties whatever the time period. I've been tagged by Rosanne and I am really looking forward to talking about my character.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05550536682038989629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6160522196101988098.post-63026862856817030132014-04-07T12:49:18.694-07:002014-04-07T12:49:18.694-07:00Hi Mary,
