Easter Egg: I think enough time has passed to reveal the egg, in case anyone was wondering. The names of all the characters in this story were inspired by Arthurian Legend, but often with spelling changes or shortened to nicknames. For the most part, the characters in my story had no real connection to the personalities or characteristics of their namesakes, though I'll admit, that wasn't always the case. I couldn't help naming my main couple after Genevieve and Lancelot, and Morgan the troublemaker had to be named after Morgan Le Fay. Some names were obvious, like Lance, Gwen, and Art (Arthur). Others I had to dig deep to find, such as Mark, Elaine, Erik, and Fisher (The Fisher King). And I was really creative on a few others. For instance, Wayne was my way of massaging the knight Sir Gawain. Around chapter 11, I felt ready to choose a name that might give it all away, and was thrilled to find that it was still a name that was used today. That was Elaine's husband, Uther.
