With my next Sarah Mallory, Never Trust a Rebel, I wasn't quite sure of the Heroine's name. I seemed to be calling her Ellen, Eloise or Helen as I typed. Then, half way through the book, I broke my wrist and the NHS doctor who treated me came in saying "Hi, my name's Elyse..." and that was it. I realised what my heroine needed to be called!
