Accommodate novelist (5)

I believe the answer is:

lodge

I believe this is a double definition.

'accommodate' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'novelist' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for lodge that I've seen before include "Provide accommodation for" , "See 2" , "Register" , "Beaver's home - hunters use it!" , "Rat messing with this > animal home" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
