It's much more difficult to select a real place I've not been to, Loads of research about the place, the local people and their loves and accents. If I choose a fictitious local, I let my imagination run wild weaving reality into it to give authenticity.
As for which do I choose first? .Probably location but it can be either. Thinking about some it's like a package deal where both arrive together. Every novel begins differently and that spontaneity keeps me excited.(less)

Something Great is Coming … And It’s Coming Soon

I’ve been having one of those months when I figured that life couldn’t be any worse. And then, just a week ago, it became better. The goddess of ‘Sugar’N’Spice’ was smiling upon me, once more. I had some good news for a change. Maybe she’ll visit you guys too. I can only hope.

It was just over eight years ago that my first novel, Lost in the Outback, was accepted by DCT publishers. Hell, I’d begun
