Fiction
Quinlan is the inspiration for the character "Kennealy" in the science fiction short story Synaesthesia by AmyBeth Inverness. The story tells of human's early research and trials in time travel. Kennealy is a chrononaut who makes non-corporeal jaunts through time. Since the process causes disorientation and disturbance in the chrononaut's sensory inputs, the fact that Kennealy is a synaesthete is a great advantage. Quinlan's image, including his tattoos, is used to illustrate the story.
Quinlan was the inspiration for a short story published by Cassandra Carr titled "Birthday Boy". "Birthday Boy" was released December 7, 2012 through Ellora's Cave Publishing.
Quinlan's physique and tattoos were the inspiration for the character Anthony "Tony" Stone in book one of The Anthony Stone Series, Jessica's Obsession, by Taabia Dupree. "Jessica's Obsession" tells the story of an overly crazed woman who wants "Tony". From beginning to end, Jessica feelings for Tony are portrayed. Quinlan's image is used to illustrate the story. The book was released February 15, 2013.

Famous quotes containing the word fiction:
“The obvious parallels between Star Wars and The Wizard of Oz have frequently been noted: in both there is the orphan hero who is raised on a farm by an aunt and uncle and yearns to escape to adventure. Obi-wan Kenobi resembles the Wizard; the loyal, plucky little robot R2D2 is Toto; C3PO is the Tin Man; and Chewbacca is the Cowardly Lion. Darth Vader replaces the Wicked Witch: this is a patriarchy rather than a matriarchy.”
—Andrew Gordon, U.S. educator, critic. “The Inescapable Family in American Science Fiction and Fantasy Films,” Journal of Popular Film and Television (Summer 1992)
“Americans will listen, but they do not care to read. War and Peace must wait for the leisure of retirement, which never really comes: meanwhile it helps to furnish the living room. Blockbusting fiction is bought as furniture. Unread, it maintains its value. Read, it looks like money wasted. Cunningly, Americans know that books contain a person, and they want the person, not the book.”
—Anthony Burgess (b. 1917)
“Space or science fiction has become a dialect for our time.”
—Doris Lessing (b. 1919)
