I just happened to read that the main event that happens in my novel, The Vase, is happening in real life. The event that I'm referring to is the Pope's visit to the Holy Land, while being accompanied by a Jewish Leader and a Muslim leader. You can read the article here.
As the article says, it's a rabbi and a Muslim leader from Argentina accompanying the Pope, whereas in The Vase, the Pope toured the Holy Land with the Israeli prime minister and the Palestinian president. But the article says that the real life Pope will be visiting with the real life Israeli prime minister and the real life Palestinian president during his tour. So there you go.
The Vase was published last year, but I wrote it four years ago. So it's somewhat satisfying to see what I wrote really come to pass, as far as the three faiths coming together in a visit to the Holy Land. Of course, I hope that's the only thing that really happens. All the terrorist stuff, the violence, the intrigue, the things that go bang in night, so to speak, can be left out. We don't need assassinations and terrorist plots, or even antiterrorist plots to really occur.
No, here's to hoping the real life Papal tour of the Holy Land proceeds without a hitch. The events that surround the Pope's visit to the Holy Land in The Vase are best left to fiction. Thanks anyway.
