As you say, one minute in CO skiing and the next in NY. The South is certainly rife with sultry mystery settings--thanks for sharing about TN and NC! :o)Jackeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03351019926958000627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7193005159654060545.post-86517066373158785782010-10-19T14:23:44.777-04:002010-10-19T14:23:44.777-04:00Where I live right now is a lake community.

I think most places have something unique about them that makes them interesting settings for a story. I have a special fondness for Philadelphia, and that's why I decided to make it the setting for my WIP. You've given me a lot to think about in terms of how to make the setting real to the reader.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7193005159654060545.post-76910618188894417992010-10-19T00:06:19.202-04:002010-10-19T00:06:19.202-04:00Great post.

Some like New York, LA, Nashville, etc. can be setting for all sorts of action. <br />Makes me cranky when I read a book that appears to be set in the wrong place.

I ...Thanks for the great post and beautiful photos. I now really want to travel to North Carolina and Nashville. They both sound fascinating settings for books as well as interesting places to visit.<br /><br />One thing I've always admired and envied about many books set in the US is how rich your history seems to be. It's as though the historial origins and legends of every state and city help to shape it and add to its own distinctive feel.Debbie Cowenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07345631448431031295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7193005159654060545.post-60596044496819121962010-10-18T12:33:09.670-04:002010-10-18T12:33:09.670-04:00Nashville is one of my favorite cities.

Sometimes I'm surprised to find I like mysteries set in odd locations.<br /><br />CDAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12160669603997465454noreply@blogger.com
