Answer: Even I had forgotten I'd given Clover a last name!!! I was scanning The Goodbye Lie for information so the continuity would flow in Mark of a Man, the third novel in my Amelia Island's Goodbye Lie Trilogy, and found it. Say hi to Mr. Clover Williams!!! I now remember thinking since Clover was such a colorful name, his family name should be simple, less exotic. No offence intended to any folks named Williams, of course.
Page 33 from The Goodbye Lie paperback:
"Did I see you waving to
Clover?" she asked.
"The man coming out of the cabin?
Yes."
"Clover Williams is our hired hand.
More of a wonderful friend, really. With Daddy at his office downtown so much
of the time, we needed someone to lend a hand with the heavy chores. Clover's
been with us since just before I was born," Breelan replied, suddenly
realizing she'd been giving out her family history to a stranger.
