Ashley asked Becky Wade:

Hi Becky! I love your books. In the Bradford Sisters series, what was your inspiration for Bradfordwood and Merryweather? I want to go there and stay at their inn so bad! Is there an actual place that is similar?

Becky Wade Ashley, yes! Bradfordwood was inspired by a real "American castle" called Thornewood. Check it out -- it looks amazing!

I set the town of Merryweather in a part of Washington state that my husband and I visited when we went to the region on a vacation/research trip before I started writing True to You. While there, we stayed at the Alderbrook Resort & Spa. I found the area so lovely, that I used it as the setting for the Bradfords.
