Alex Green asked Christopher Moore:

Are there any fictional characters in the Moore-verse that you've based on people from your everyday life?

Christopher Moore A number. Many are composites of several people, like the characters in my Pine Cove books. They have the qualities of three or four people that I know. And the two main characters in Fluke, Nate and Clay, are based on guys I got to know while researching that book. I always change qualities of a character from the person I modeled them on, mainly because they have to do stuff the real people don't have to do, but yes, I certainly have used real people to base characters on.
