Not my hometown. Todd is from Ada, OK and they have at least one book. It was the one by John Grisham, called An Innocent Man. Not very flattering for the town.

Anne – I’ve only seen the Great Lakes from Navy Pier in Chicago, but I want to see more.

My two series are set in north western New York state and north eastern Minnesota. I grew up around the Great Lakes, so the region and lakes call to me.

Another book, as yet unpublished, takes place in an imaginery place very similar to Clayton, N.Y. so I guess the area’s in my blood!

LoRee – Nebraska is another place that IMO gets overlooked, but I agree with you. The state lines don’t matter as much as the ambiance of the town it’s set in.

Jean – I’m glad you’re reminding us there’s more to NY than NYC. I’d love to come visit, especially in the fall.

Katy – I hear Connecticut is beautiful. I haven’t visited the Northeast at all, only flown through. Romania would be a great tax write-off when you go. 😉

My home state is Nebraska and I love to read books set here. Stephanie Grace Whitson has penned some beautiful historicals. The books I’ve written are also set in Nebraska.
But I enjoy any western setting and get immersed in reading about small towns. I feel more at home within those pages.

I live in Connecticut and love when I find a book set here. Kristan Higgins has written a few. Luanne Rice has as well. It’s nice to read about places you know so well. I’ve written one that takes place in a fictional town here in CT. Because I live so close to New York City, my other stories take place there. But I do have my characters take off for Romania in my current WIP. My husband keeps saying to go and take a tour. Isn’t he sweet? But I’ve said until I sell my first book, I can’t do that just yet.

All of my contemporary books are set up small-town Upstate NY. It’s part of my personal campaign to introduce the rest of the country to a New York that’s far removed from New York City.

Sounds like a great read! Thanks for the review.

Thanks for your sweet words, Regina! And if I have my way I’ll do an entire book with an Oklahoma setting someday as a tribute to my grandparents who both lived there until they moved to Texas in the 1950s. 🙂
