What's in a Name?

 



People sometimes ask me what on earth I was thinking when I named my son David John, exactly the same name as mine. I reply that I was expecting him to be a girl. That I was taken by surprise. That I panicked when I realised Samantha wouldn't be appropriate.

My decision has caused minor confusion for a long time but the situation recently changed with the publication of his first novel. He calls himself David J Harrison, not to be confused with D J Harrison, which is me. Phew! So that's OK.

His book, Recursion, comes out very soon and you should buy it so that you can see just how brilliant a writer he has become. I would like to claim some credit for his awesomeness but I won't.
