I have an interesting development. And I have to admit, as the author I totally didn't realize this would be a concern to my readers. Up to this point, I have avoided the issue of the lady's real name for 2 reasons-1) she hasn't remembered it yet and 2) I haven't really selected her real name yet. But several different readers have mentioned how the fact she is remembering other details of her life but not her name makes them suspect she is trying to pull a fast one over on Hoss. That would be the furthest thing from my mind. Truth be told, I have been trying to create a woman who was as open and honest as Hoss is good and noble...but now I have my readers thinking she is a woman of darker motives, much like many of the women from his past. I guess this keeps people guessing, but I wonder how much harder it will be to convince them that she really just loves him for being Hoss, not a rich Cartwright...

And that brings us to another issue...gotta name this gal...Hoss calls her Em, and I had thought of naming her Emma for short (After the character of my favorite Jane Austen novel) but one of my fellow Hoss fans is identifying so personally with the story I might add her name to the bunch...so I am trying out the name Emma Rachel Holiday...any thoughts?
