Toni Goodall asked Katherine Center:

I read the Bodyguard and loved your style of writing! I went on to read 3 more of your books over the last 2 weeks. I noticed that you use the name "Duncan" in several of your books. Is there a special significance? Or do you just like that name?

Katherine Center HI!!! Thanks so much for reading!! So, Duncan is a character who shows up in two (I think only 2! If it's more than that, it wasn't on purpose!!) of my books--and he's the same guy. He's Helen's little brother in my 2015 book Happiness for Beginners, and he stole the show for me so much in that story, that I decided to give him his own book—so he's one of the main characters in What You Wish For (2020). If you see other uses of 'Duncan,' it was probably an accident! But I do like that name!! :D
