I find myself about to add an actual, real-life person into my novel.  I hope he doesn’t mind (he is in the public eye for a living already), and I will make him read about himself before it goes to print (just in case he objects).  But I thought I’d warn the rest of you.  Knowing me personally puts you in real danger of finding yourself in the pages of a murder mystery.  So watch your step!  (no humans were harmed in the writing of this murder mystery)
