TAYLOR SWIFT 

Characters from The Evers: Forever Twelve

Did you notice? Nearly all the characters in the novel, Forever Twelve, take their name from a someone in a Taylor Swift song. I’m a big Swiftie and this was a fun way to share my enthusiasm for Taylor and her work. She’s quite the storyteller.

Don’t worry. You don’t have to love Taylor Swift or know her music to enjoy the book. (I’ve done these kind of “Easter Eggs” in other books. The Dino Files has Green Bay Packer inspired characters and Millionaires for the Month uses names with Broadway ties.)
