Recreational Note: As St. Matilda's exists only in the imagination, so do the staff and officers. Nevertheless, the names must surely refer to someone? Well, probably not as the characters do not exist outside my imagination! However those with imaginations better than mine may see some resemblences to others they know. However, your guess is as good as mine as to where the ideas for these names came from and you can only check against your own mind, not mine. As Freud's great disciple, Fritz Perls, commented "Every thing we say, we say of ourselves." He saw little alternative if any ... and I agree!
 
Better, maybe to read the books when they come out! See the publications page for details.
