I am nearly finished writing a novel in which I asked a large number of people I have met, who have been married for over twenty years and used some of the best stories I received (Examples: Where and how they proposed, wedding blunders etc...) and added them as events in the life of my main characters. There is one person who I used several real life events ranging from the manner of death of his spouse being cancer and what instructions she left behind for her husband, his hobby as a woodworker and who he remarried (a female pastor from their church life) and I am wondering if any or all of these people would end up with a case for likeness rights against me if I publish the book. The rest of the book is completely fictional and even most of the events and happenings that really happened are not exactly how they truly occurred in the story. Any information on this is truly appreciated.
Thank you.
Thank you.
