And I have a future book, so a book that won't be out next year, a book that will be out the year after. Two of the main characters in that are actually names of people who came to a book signing at a tiny little bookshop in Cornwall in England. Because I see all these names when I'm signing books for people in the queue after events.
And sometimes people have these amazing, beautiful names that I've never heard of before. And I remember meeting this very sweet girl at this bookshop a few years ago when we were promoting Daisy Darker. And I just stopped what I was doing. And that's not a good idea when you've got a long queue of people waiting for signatures.

And it's an unusual name. So it would be a huge coincidence if I'd chosen it any other way. And she said, I'd be so thrilled if you did that. And she left the queue and then she ran back. She said, by the way, just in case. My sister's called, and I won't say what it is, this other name. And my goodness, their parents were really on it. They were two fantastic names.

And I said, I'm going to use them both one day. I don't know when, but I will. And I have. So in a couple of years time, that very sweet girl I met in a queue a few years ago, in line in a bookshop in Cornwall, we'll see her name in one of the books.
