Good Book Authors Borrow Content

If you are near a good author, you will inevitably end up in one of her books in some way. Perhaps as a simple bystander in a story. Perhaps as an example. Perhaps as window dressing. Perhaps as the heroine or hero. Perhaps as the menace.

Great book authors steal content all the time. They stare. They pry. They listen. They eavesdrop. And they invent.
