Jhulia Yambao asked Jonathan Shapiro:

Did you base your stories in real life?

Jonathan Shapiro Always. I think every writer does. It isn't always or usually clear to the reader or the writer what part of real life the story is based on. But I don't think humans can create anything that doesn't arise from real experiences, either of the writer or of others.
