This is my first foray into fiction since I was a senior in college over twenty years ago. Generally, as you know, I write non-fiction, mostly memoir. This journey with Memphis has been fun so far.
One of the tools I have been using to write this novel is Pinterest. I have been pinning photos of women I think look like Memphis, photos of men I think look like Evan, and photos of locations I mention in the book.
Although I am certain that the main character should be called Memphis, I am not so sure of Evan as the name of her love interest. Take a look at some of the images I have selected. Do you think Evan is the best name for the main male character? If not, do you have a suggestion for other names?
Here’s a link to the novel’s Pinterest page, and I have included some images below for those of you who don’t visit Pinterest. Enjoy!

This model looks like Memphis to me. See Pinterest for different looks.
I imagine that Evan looks like this. Is Evan the best name for this character?
Although I give it a fictional name in the novel, this book takes place in a city based on Wheeling, West Virginia, USA.
The college Memphis and Evan attend is based on my alma mater, West Liberty University.
