This is a rant! Be forewarned...

I'm an avid reader and I adore the classics. As an English major, I've everything from Spencer to Byron. Kafka, Blake, Shelley, and Burrows sit on my shelf. I've recently dipped my toe into the world of indie publishing. I've always supported the DIY musicians... this is no different. WRONG! I'm on my third indie and it's SHIT! Grammar errors, cliche plots, characters as flat as cardboard, themes as shallow as a mud puddle if at all...

I'm trying to decide on a name for Tom's evil sire mentioned in my first book, Midnight Reflections. I'm interested in using an old-fashioned European name. Right now, my top choices are

Helena
Makena
Isabel
Adelina
Athelina
Damara

Any thoughts or suggestions?
