Another “Fact in Fiction” I use in the Legends of the Winged Scarab series: Fact: The former Russian Cruise Liner Lyubov Orlova was lost at sea while being towed to the Caribbean from Canada. A well-known ghostship, she supposedly was inhabited only by cannibal rats.    
Fiction: In Books 3-5 of the Legends, she is turned into a floating luxury liner by the South American billionaire-pirate Lorenzo Dominguez.  Sailing her as the Bucanero II across the Atlantic and Mediterranean, Lorenzo terrorizes our protagonists who are trying to escape his clutches on a small sailboat headed for Crete (North America having been devastated by the eruption of the Yellowstone Supervolcano - hopefully, that event will stay fiction).

Here is another “Fact in Fiction” I use in the Legends of the Winged Scarab series:

The Kissing Bug, Chagas Disease. 

In the U.S., over 300,000 people live with it (mostly Hispanics from Latin America). Over 8 million people in Mexico, Central America and South America have it. The disease comes from the bite of a triatomine bug; it carries a parasite which can ultimately destroy the digestive system and heart. Worldwide, the disease kills tens of thousands a year.

In Book 3 “After the Cataclysm,” Lorenzo Dominguez, our billionaire art thief/pirate/kidnapper caught Chagas disease as a boy in the abject squalor of the Venezuelan prison on Isla Margarita. 

In Book 5 “The Nile Conspiracy,” Lorenzo's predestined fate catches up with him (at a rather opportune time for our protagonists). 

Here is the second Excerpt from "Pasha" on Helen Hollick's Blog:

Pasha's is only one among many entertaining stories about shelter cats and dogs, their individuals traits and the happy days when they realize they are being adopted.

Of course, Pasha does get center stage. He was my foster-failure - that's when the foster parent turns adopter. I still miss him.

KHAMSIN, The Devil Wind of The Nile.

Dry wit and humor, sprinkled with a generous dose of skepticism about that romantic notion called Love. The three satires/parodies—Interludes, Intermezzo, and Intercourse—are sophisticated (okay, sexy) stories about Life, Lust and Love. But sometimes things just don't go as planned.
