I love the name Hunter, which is my heroine's name in my WIP... and in my book, Thunder, which I just finished is the last name of my Native men. Mingan is the hero, meaning Gray Wolf in Blackfeet. Love the name Kurt Lancer ... it has a strong, manly sound. Series are hot right now ... good luck! :) RitaRita Karnopphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02789747545409430010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8915423025917785375.post-90453139411128809072013-09-04T06:23:28.713-07:002013-09-04T06:23:28.713-07:00Great advice.

I also notice in crime and thriller fiction, the protagonist has a strong, catchy surname, one that reflects his/her personality or status as hero/protector, e.g. Shepherd, Reacher, Cross, Fox, Hunter, etc. With this in mind, I created Detective Kurt Lancer: Kurt meaning "courageous" or "wolf", and Lancer I hope is a strong, memorable enough surname for series longevity.J.C.
