Comments on: Fact or fiction… http://loridevoti.com/blog/2005/04/22/fact-or-fiction/ Author Interviews, Lori Devoti's Life as a Paranormal Romance and Urban Fantasy Author, News in Publishing Fri, 05 Sep 2008 20:51:34 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Lori http://loridevoti.com/blog/2005/04/22/fact-or-fiction/#comment-33 Lori Tue, 03 May 2005 00:14:03 +0000 http://loridevoti.com/blog/?p=23#comment-33 Okay, so I just had my first couple of book signings and got the chance to talk to people who have known me practically since birth. First, a friend tells me reading my book is like talking to me. That it completely sounds like me. That's weird, don't you think? Do your books sound like you? Another friend made the same comment about another author I know. So, it must be true of a lot of writers. Oh, and my friend also said she had to buy the book to see if she was in it. She isn't. Well, as I told her, her ruffly underwear is, but she isn't. Okay, so I just had my first couple of book signings and got the chance to talk to people who have known me practically since birth.

I love it! I can't honestly say I've ever assumed the author was the heroine in her books. I know I've asked people how much of them is in the character, but that's the extent of it. There's a little bit of me in all my heroines, but none of them are all me. And I don't put people I know in my books, although some characters have started out loosely based on people from my past. As the book progresses, though, those characters become more themselves and less other people. LOL on your closing line. I love it!

She also believes I've experienced all those things. She needs a medical check-up, lol. The DaVinci Code thing amazes me, because it is fiction, yet all this other has come out of it. Stunning.
