Speaking of antagonists, the landscape of Janus Rock and the great sea beyond is awfully unforgiving. Is it based on a real location?
No and yes. The island of Janus Rock is entirely fictitious (although I have a placeholder for it on Google maps). But the region where the Great Southern Ocean and the Indian Ocean meet is real, and the climate, weather and the landscape are more or less as I’ve described them. I wrote some of the book there: It’s a very beautiful, if sometimes fierce, part of the world.

Well, isn't this convenient...I'm currently in for four, this
1 Mornings in Jenin
2 Jasmine and Fire: A Bittersweet Year in Beirut
3 The Alhambra
4 The Cellist of Sarajevo
:)
Count me in - I love challenges with a lot of flexibility!1. The Witch of Blackbird Pond
2. From the Earth to the Moon
3. The Graveyard Book
Just 3 books for now but the list probably will increase!
Sarajayne: Yes! Please feel free to use non-fiction.Shirley and Katie: I'll leave it up to you. The original idea is for the title to include a place name (a state, country, or even the name of a town or smaller place). However, I want this to be pretty flexible and for people to just have fun with it so if you'd like to use them go ahead. :)
I'd like to take part - October to December with a goal of 5 books:1
