There is a twisted, tangled, and often tactical relationship between true stories and works of fiction. True stories can inspire and influence a fiction author's work, bringing a level of enchantment to her story. Or a true story can stumble its way into a perfectly good tale and wreck it, make it seem unreal somehow. But when it's done right, it can change an author's heart and blow a reader's mind. I've mixed a lot of fact and fiction in my stories - especially in my earlier novels - the ones closer in theme to my own family lore. I don't know how many minds I've blown, if any at all, but I do know that my own mesh of fact and fiction has changed my heart. And if I've put you in the mood for seeing if any of my work can change your's, even potentially blow your mind, check out my novels here, on my website: www.victoriadoughertybooks.com This episode is also available as a blog post: https://victoriadougherty.wordpress.com/2016/03/31/the-communist-who-peed-his-pants-and-other-war-stories/ --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/victoria-dougherty/support
