Using Family History in Fiction

It's been a while since I've posted here, but I've got a good excuse: I've been finishing my booklet on using family history in fiction. It's titled, natch, Using Family History in Fiction.

Here's what it says on the back cover (written by my editor):

Does your family have a story that needs to be told?

Are you a writer wanting to add life and “care-a-bility” to your stories?

Do you want to learn how to tell your family history in an interesting and inspiring way?Learn from a pro how to do just that and more!

• Discover how to use familiar settings as the backdrop for believable scenes
• Find out how and why to tell true family stories from a fictional slant
• Learn how to mold your ancestors or family members into strong fictional characters
• Share your favorite memories and family lore
• Develop your storytelling ability

Liz's information about using family history in fiction is very interesting and valuable. I recommend it. It will help you "write what you know." - T. Deighton
