James S.A. Corey

James S.A. Corey is the pen name used by writers Daniel Abraham and Ty Frank, who collaborated and wrote the science fiction series The Expanse. The pen name was created by using the authors’ middle names, and S.A. are the initials of Abraham’s daughter. The name is also meant to give the feel of space opera writers of the 1970s.

Jack Dawson

While the events of the Titanic were certainly real, not everything that was shown in the 1997 Titanic movie was based on reality. Jack Dawson was not a real person but a fictional character, however at the Fairview Cemetery where 121 victims are buried there is a grave labeled J. Dawson. The real J. Dawson was named Joseph and was a trimmer in the engine room of the ship. Amazingly, it wasn’t until after the film was filmed that the crew realized this coincidence.
