Aside from the questionable biology, there is a tradition of using a specific last name. For example, the kids of mothers not married to royal parents had the last name "Fitzroy", for "fils du roi", or "son of the king".

Ah ha! Thanks! I must have missed hearing mention of that tradition thus far. Good to know. :)

Oh dear. Another one headed to pulp.

Are you paid to review these books?

[thistle_chaser]

Not paid in money alas, just in free books. Sometimes it's worth it, other times not so much.

Nicotine-sweet lips?!? Kids are gonna be licking ashtrays before you know it! The only good taste of a smoker's lips is one who is smoking cloves, and even then, it's only if you like the taste of black licorice... and nicotine.

Yeeeeep. I had to wonder if the author was a smoker herself. A smoker with delusions...
