What's in a name?

I get my ideas for names in my books from two places, the roster of people at the place I work and my spam. Seriously. Today at work it was Hedwig Hockgerfelter. Beautiful. In my spam list are Natasha Fink, Doyle Grubbs and Buzz Irb. Seriously, you can't make these up!

I love this idea! No, you can't make those names up...My question? What's up with these parents??

Those parents are in the same (what were they thinking) class as those who name all their kids Peter, except they have a bit more imagination!

In Season:
"Whether you love horses or not, this book will delight you. And...it's a great read anyway! There is mystery, romance, and marvelous human interest. I read it in one sitting but I had to go back later and take it slower to savor the details. "

The Shepherd's Image:
"Just as the man in the painting is totally unlike the standard image of a good shepherd, Ms. Wible is showing herself to be a writer unafraid to veer far and away from standard fiction themes. "

In Between Goodbyes:
"Strong characters carrying heavy psychological baggage feature in this insider's look at life in New York's theater district. A touch of mystery makes (this)...a fascinating contemporary romantic tale. ...(this book) will be enjoyed by readers who like a good hearted heroine, a worthy man who stays true to his love and the smell of greasepaint."
