In the original version of Jester's Ransom set in 2010, it's a significant plot point that Jesse Stone attends Tulane in New Orleans.
Today, I did a quick search to see if I'd mentioned Tulane anywhere in Too Much Love. The only reference I found was that Jesse wore a Tulane sweatshirt in Chapter 22. Because Too Much Love is a work-in-draft, I've made it a general policy not to fix retcon errors this time around unless they are small and localized.
In this case, I made an exception. Jesse is now wearing the sweats of a college referred to as SUNOLA, which will be expanded out in Chapter 67 of Too Much Love to Stryker University in New Orleans, Louisiana.
When an author creates a fictional but recognizable analogue of a real place, company, or person, it's often because they plan to set events there that, should they instead use the original setting, would probably get them sued.
The story of Jesse's kidnapping, his unexpected relationship with one of the kidnappers, and the potentially litigation-worthy-if-I-used-a-real-college behavior that follows are scheduled to start appearing here at SOL on September 10.
And I'd definitely better make sure that, whatever I call Jesse's fraternity, it's not one that actually exists.
