In my childhood days, I didn't know anything about copyright laws and regularly pilfered famous characters for my stories. Taking fan fiction to new extremes, I once turned Han Solo into an NFL quarterback who married a supermodel.
After a lot of years of writing for fun, I decided to write for fun and profit. In 2007, my literary agent sold a humorous urban fantasy called WOULD-BE WITCH and its sequel to the Berkley Publishing Group. Unfortunately, neither Han Solo nor any supermodels appear in the books, but I hope the characters I created from scratch will entertain readers anyway.
