Friday Factoid: How Naming One Town Solved 3 Plot Holes

Friday Factoid is a weekly blog feature where I’ll be sharing a little bit of background behind something from one of my books: ideas, characters, environments, pieces of research, you name it, it’s all fair game for the Friday Factoids! If you have a specific question, feel free to email me at jrfrontera@gmail.com (comments are still being finnicky)! What will be featured this week? Read on to find out…

About how naming one town greatly influenced world-building and solved three plot holes!

For realz.

I just needed to the name the town. In doing some research, I came across a town name that stuck in my head. And no matter how hard I tried to find a different suitable name for the town, I just kept coming back again and again to that one.

So I went with that one. And because of that specific town name, I came up with WHY it was named that. And that led to who might live in this town. And that led to who might run the town. And that led to how the main characters might be able to rob the bank…

How in the world did all that happen just from the name of a town?

Watch (or just listen) for all the juicy details below! (I was really tired of typing, so you get video today!)

Want to know how exactly it all goes down?
