Hi ,

Welcome to all my new subscribers! I'm so glad you're here! 

 

In real estate, there is a saying that the three most important features of a house are location, location, location. When it comes to reading, I find myself drawn to books that take place in New Orleans. There's something about the language, culture, folklore, food, and music that I find fascinating. I suppose it started when I read Cry Wolf by Tami Hoag. I also enjoyed her book, A Thin Dark Line. Nora Roberts' Midnight Bayou was good too. More recently, I read Moonlight Scandals by Jennifer Armentrout.

 

Sometimes the location is the just the place the story occurs, but in some books, setting is almost another character. I know people who like to read British mysteries and others who enjoy Scottish historical romances. Lauren Blakely has a few books that incorporate setting wonderfully, whether it's in New York City or Paris. 

 

Nearly all my books are set in Central Virginia, where I live. I grew up in Northern California, but have lived in Virginia for nearly 30 years. Like New Orleans, the south has a unique language, culture, folklore, and food, some of which I try to capture in my books.

 

What about you? Do you find you're drawn to books set in specific locations? 

 

If you enjoy books set in the south, you might want to check out Books with a Southern Setting giveaway. You'll find a variety of genres from suspense, mystery, paranormal and more.
