The Love Boat Bachelor: The Inspiration Behind Nora Laing
By now you’re aware that readers chose Eliana Grayson as Brent Teague’s heroine in The Love Boat Bachelor. I can’t adequately explain how fun it was behind the scenes as authors to read the chapters together and wonder who readers would choose. They were all great heroines so don’t worry about the heroines who weren’t chosen. I’m pretty sure they will fare well long after the cruise disembarks.
I thought it would be fun to share how my heroine, Nora Laing, came to be.
Believe it or not, the church directory.
I flipped through our app and tried to look at names and faces to find a fun fit. Nora is a beautiful toddler with pretty blue eyes. Her family is known for ministry, serving and love for family. Laing is a name of a family that I find close knit and compassionate. I thought putting the names together would make a great character.
Although Nora Laing has been helping her sister and nephew for years, there’s a tenacity to her that I enjoyed writing. The shopping in Cozumel was so fun to write.
When it comes to names, authors will use baby books, Google, tributes to loved ones, auctions for good causes where the winner plays a part in naming the name. You’ll even find us on social media asking for name ideas after we explain their personality.
I hope you took advantage of The Love Boat Bachelor when it was free. If you missed it, it’s still a great price for Kindle. With the frozen temps and blizzards across the country, enjoy the Caribbean locales and fun with Brent Teague, The Love Boat Bachelor.
