Who would write a book and name the main character after themself?

i think alex rover the adventurer is who she wishes she was and that's why she writes the books. that way she can have all the adventures without leaving the safety of her home.

Gene Wesley Rodenberry
Ensign Wesley Crusher

George (Luc)as
Luke Skywalker

You're absolutely right. It's a completely foreign thing.
Makes no sense at all.

OP, authors name main characters in their stories after themselves.

You got a problem with that?

Good, then I guess Literature and Reading are not your things, so shut up and get a grip.
