FIRST JAMES FREY, NOW DAN BROWN
IS THE SECRETIVE DA VINCI CODE AUTHOR REALLY A PLAGIARIST?

Celebrity Biographer Lisa Rogak, author of the only book to exhaustively cover Dan Brown's life, describes why his research techniques - and his surprising past as a singer/songwriter of soft pop ballads - may have gotten him into hot water.

With his disclosure several weeks ago that A Million Little Pieces was more fiction than memoir, James Frey threw a spotlight on the dirty little world of how an author's creativity can run amuck. Oprah literally threw the book at him, and now his name is mud.

Is Dan Brown next up in the crosshairs?

Interview Lisa Rogak

Lisa is the author of the just-published The Man Behind The Da Vinci Code: An Unauthorized Biography of Dan Brown. She can provide insight and commentary into what makes the reclusive novelist tick.

Is Dan Brown the next internationally-famous author to fall by the wayside due to charges that he played fast and loose with the truth? That's exactly what the authors behind the trial that began in Britain's High Court this week hope.

By accusing Brown of breaching the copyright of their 1982 book Holy Blood, Holy Grail, Michael Baigent and Richard Leigh hope to collect not only millions of dollars worth of damages but also to halt the international release of The Da Vinci Code movie in May.

But is Brown really guilty? After all, he has openly cited their book as one of hundreds of sources he used for his fourth novel, and even used an anagram of the authors' names in complimentary fashion to christen a character in The Da Vinci Code, Leigh Teabing.

Of course, Baigent and Leigh see things very differently. They allege that Brown not only copied their basic themes and ideas but also mimicked the architecture and narrative structure of their non-fiction book.

Want to get Dan Brown's side of the story? Good luck! Brown has refused all media interviews in the last two years, and the brief statements he's tossing to the hordes of reporters outside the London courthouse are nothing more but vague sound bites.
