I was Deep Throat, does that count?
Several books written by my partner are dedicated to me. I’m not sure that any characters are based on me and I don’t care to know. ;)A cookbook written by a friend is dedicated to me because I worked with her a bit on it.
Wow, impressive.
The best I have ever done was a color picture on the front page of the local newspaper, flying a 1900 simulator. After that, I was in a magazine, pictured inspecting the tail of a Boeing 727.
My sister was pictured in the front of the phonebook last year, acting as a flight engineer in a 727 sim.
We are just a 727 kinda family, I guess.
No books yet, though. 
Pictures of me are in CHANGELING: The Dreaming (p. 101, far left-the rest are friends of mine) and Dirty Secrets of the Black Hand, I think. One of those Sabbat sourcebooks: I am holding a gun to someone’s head in vamp face.
Friend of mine did the art, and he used a lot of his friends as the basis for his drawings.
Oh, yeah, I forgot. I used to hang around with Jack Kerouac. Y’know ON THE ROAD? Y’know Dean Moriarty? That was me.
A friend of mine appeared in a comic bool. Iron Man I believe (I rarely read Marvel.)
I haven’t seen it, but Iron Man has gone to the future and goes into a Radio Shack to buy spare parts. He is belittled by the geek behind the counter for wanting such old fashioned and under powered stuff. And for not being able to build complex things from scratch.
That geek is my friend Ed. I haven’t heard from it in years, I wonder if it is still alive.
My great-grandmother was a writer and a medicine woman, and after she died my grandmother wrote a book about her final years entitled Joy Before Night. Because I visited great-gran not long before she died the book includes two poems she wrote about me, and a picture or two that includes me as a three-year-old Blinkie. 
'Course, my mother was thanked for giving The Outlandish Companion its name.
I’m in the current edition of Dale Carnegie’s “How To Win Friends And Influence People.” A piece of my speech on using the name of a food server named Eunice is used to illustrate a point. Ann Landers also used a short essay of mine about holiday depression in a column.
I’ve got three upcoming entries as “Appellant’s Counsel” in the Southwestern Reports. Does that count?
My mom writes young adult novels, so I show up a lot in partial form; many of her characters have traits that she took from me.
However, in Nekoma Creek and Nekoma Creek Christmas, I’m pretty much directly described as a kid. I’m Lucy, the rowdy little five year old who enjoys pushing pumpkins off the pourch.
I’ve been a footnote in a book on baseball in Asia, “Taking in a Game”.
I worked for my old professor about 18 months ago, when he was working on a revision for an introductory psychology textbook he’d cowritten. Part of my job involved collecting updated journal articles and contacting professors around the country about their recent work, so I was named as a Library Assistant in the acknowledgements.
Hijack
In answer to the thread question…i’ll just answer no and get on with it…soon, however…you will be seeing my name! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA
End Hijack
Sort of.
Douglas Coupland has included bits of my conversations with him in a coupla of his books, most recognizably in Microserfs, where a few bits of Michael’s dialogue are almost word-for-word. (That guy carries a notebook 24/7, and is constantly scratching in it, so I reckon a goodly portion of the folks he bumps into find their way in there, one way or another, their quotidian ramblings transformed by some strange alchemy into Literature.)
This is the second time I’ve dropped that name today, (sort of) and I haven’t laid eyes on him for three years. I should be ashamed, but hey, you asked.
If anyone cares, you know that “vaguely amoral corporation” that Prince Tyler works for in Shampoo Planet? I worked there too. “Tyler” is just about the nicest guy you could ever meet, and not nearly so vain as he appears in the book.
I’m a Star Destroyer in Heir to the Empire and the other two after it.
I’m also listed in a book of student art that my junior college puts out. I worked on page layout.
My name is mentioned in the latest edition of The MacMillan Writer (a textbook) because I did a review of the previous edition with suggestions for changes and improvements.
Whoo-hoo.
Wow… I really wish I could help you out on this and am a bit ashamed I can’t but I just wanted to chime in to say that I worship Peter David as the minor deity of Trek lore that he is.
I own almost all the Pocket Book Star Trek novels and he is by far my favorite author and his New Frontier series is some of the best work out of three hundred or more books that I’ve read in the series.
now I’m going to have to go peruse my David books to try and find these characters. I’m an unabashed geek.
Yeah, a couple of books.
No, we’re talking about books here, not movies :o
I used to game with Diana Paxson’s son, Ian; he was used for a main character in a bunch of her novels.
I just remembered another one… In the Loma Prieta quake of 1989, my brother’s apartment in San Francisco had to be emptied out. He had a bunch of stuff piled up out in the street, with a grandmother clock on top which, being electric, had stopped at the exact time of the quake. Somebody who wrote a book about the quake took a picture of the pile of stuff, and used that time as the title of the book. That picture is the last one in the book, and there is a picture of me, sitting in my grandmother’s lap, propped up next to the clock. So, there’s a picture of a picture of me in a book.
Peter does indeed rock (as does his lovely wife Kathleen). I was honored to be there when they wed. Sadly I have yet to see the baby in person but they live hours away from us and we don’t get out there often. I shall definitely see little Caroline during I-Con.
I’d say he’s my favorite author too but since my husband is also an author (he’s done a buncha short stories, some of them ebooks for the Trek SCE series) I should probably reserve that one for him. Said husband is also Peter’s webmaster, so if you go over to http://peterdavid.malibulist.com/ you might have seen him on there.
If you haven’t been there, head on over and tell him yourself how much you enjoy his work.
And I’ll put this here too, since Cinescape’s review of Keith’s latest work said he was the second coming of Peter. Peter’s response was, of course, “I went somewhere?”
Keith also is a very close friend and fine human being. I shall stop shilling for my friends now, really…
