Disclaimer on Publisher Page

Post by G. Alvin Simons » Sat January 16th, 2010, 10:14 pm

Don't forget there's a standard disclaimer printed on the publisher page of most novels these legalistic days that states, "This book is a work of fiction. Names, characters,...the product of the author's imagination or used fictitiously."
Libel, however, is a different subject. Unless you're attacking Peron's reputation, & you'd have to get in line to do that, you should be fine.
