Hi, I have just listened to a radio interview where the author had auctioned for charity a character in his book (the winner had the character named after her son who had passed away), I was wondering if you have ever done this or would you even consider it? I think I read that that you had named Frederickson after a priest that you had met. Are there any other fictional characters that are named after real people? Thanks for all the great hours of reading. Ben Ixer
