Writing Real People Into Fiction and Living With the Consequences | Robert Adamcik

Robert Adamcik is a Navy veteran and defense contractor who writes spy thrillers populated with real people, coworkers, shipmates, and friends, by name and by personality.

We talk about his Martini Squad series and the second book The Wave Force Affair, how he approaches getting permission before putting someone in a novel, and what happens when a character based on a real colleague doesn't make it out alive.

If you write fiction and have ever wondered how far you can take real people and real experiences in your storytelling, this is a conversation worth hearing.
