Sam Wilson asked E.A.A. Wilson:

Were any of your characters based on people that you know?

E.A.A. Wilson Hi Sam! Good question! I think it's impossible for an author to create a character 100% from imagination - and why would you, when there are so many completely bananas people out there to draw inspiration from?? Most of my characters draw heavily from the interesting, inspiring, scary and obnoxious people in my life, all of whom I am much richer for having met and have contributed to my creative reservoir in ways I'll probably never know! I'm grateful for every one of them.
