The Preternatural Chronicles begins in Houston, Texas. A place I know very well.
There are plenty of urban fantasy books set in places like Chicago, New York, London, and other cities that already have enormous fictional supernatural histories. I wanted to do something different and build my supernatural world in Texas.
Plus, Houston is perfect for it.
It's enormous, diverse, sprawling, occasionally beautiful, frequently ridiculous, hotter than Satan's taint for a significant portion of the year, and large enough that you could probably hide an entire supernatural society there without anyone noticing.
As the series progresses, however, John's world gets considerably larger. We travel outside Houston, outside Texas, and even outside this world.
But Houston is John's home. No matter how large the mythology and stakes of The Preternatural Chronicles become, that's where his story begins.
