Gary Guinn:
Have you based any characters on people you have met in real life?
Gary Guinn
Oh, yes. In my most recent book, Sacrificial Lam, a mystery-suspense novel set on the campus of a small southern college, I used as the setting the campus at which I taught. I also used several of my colleagues as models for some of the characters. No lawsuits yet! :)
Actually, I treated the identifiable people very well. The unsavory characters were fiction. Weren't they?
