Bridget Jones's Diary ~ Helen Fielding

I've just noticed that it is not only the title characters but also the authors who share surnames. Is that entirely coincidental or was Helen, perhaps, inspired by Tom's work in her choice of a name for her character ?

The Crossing ~ Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill (10th November 1871 – 12th March 1947) was an American best-selling novelist of the early 20th century. He is nowadays overshadowed, even as a writer, by the very much more famous British statesman of the same name, with whom he was acquainted but not related...nevertheless, their lives had some interesting parallels.
