This just may be the best part of writing a new novel.
The research.
With the access available through images, Google Earth and a website for just about everything, the days of having to travel to Italy for two weeks to "compose ideas" just may be over.
As I work through my fourth novel, The Last Drive, I'm taking my mind back through some dynamics cities. Vancouver and Victoria, British Columbia.
If you ever get the opportunity to go to these cities, I'd highly recommended it. Searching through my memory and the Internet have provided plenty of inspiration to keep writing, such as the endless rain and modern vibe of Vancouver or the laid-back beauty of Victoria.
The snapshot of the seaplane (above) played a major part in my fascination with those two large hamlets of British Columbia. If it wasn't so bloody expensive, I'd probably consider living there one day. Who knows, if enough people buy The Interim, it just may happen. There...was that suttle enough?
Hope to see you at the Borders signing, next Saturday, October 13 at Borders in Eau Claire.
Packers. 16-0. Believe it.
