There is, but at the same time, poster-Jay is here to okay or reject any of it. My original point, though, was that it's not unusual in fiction for a real-named character to be a complete deviation from the original.








Once again, that has to do with specific people's comfort level. For all we know, the real Mrs. Boaz might enjoy reading about the fictional one.

I should also say, though, personally I've always been a little uncomfortable casting myself into fiction. Something about the temptation to identify too closely with the fictional character, I guess. That's why all of my characters are pieces of me, but not the whole thing.
