In a [September 4, 2001 interview] with Justin Bielawa, William Forstchen answered the question "Who the heck is Lyford Beverge and why does his name keep showing up in your work?" He replied: "Ahh, Lyford, A very dear friend who I worked with while teaching High School in Maine. many of the characters in my different novels are named after friends, such as Mina, Beverage, Ferguson, Kindred. I also will use the names of favorite students as a little way of saluting their efforts."
