I’m hoping The Only will get her photos downloaded and forwarded to me soon. Then I can share lots of great pics of New Orleans with you. I have a whole “photo story” I want to share. Until then, here. Have a picture of the front spires of St. Louis Cathedral on the north side of Jackson Square. It’s a beautiful church and will play a prominent part of Roman’s story when I start working on the Penumbra Papers. Roman is a gargoyle, for those who don’t know.

First things first, though. Two projects to finish and then I can go there.
Writers, do you go somewhere on a trip and then incorporate what you’ve seen into a story? Readers, do you ever visit someplace and wish your favorite author would set a book there?

My trip to Yellowstone fueled the book ‘Nature of Destruction’. If I’d never gone there, I never would’ve gotten that idea.
Cool cathedral, btw. =o)
St. Louis is one of the most photographically documented places in New Orleans. 🙂 That’s cool about Yellowstone!
I love reading books set in areas I’ve visited or know. Reading a book set in Nashville right now and I can see everything very clearly. Of course readers want authors to set books in certain locations. 😉
Ooh! A book set in Nashville? Awesome. What’s the title?
Taking Shots by Toni Aleo. It comes out next Tuesday from Loveswept. Think it was originally a self-pub author. It’s a hockey romance and I loved so much about the story.
Oh, cool! I’ll have to watch for it. 🙂
What a gorgeous shot! I occasionally incorporate places into my writing, but I don’t set out to do so.
Thanks, JB! Not bad for an iPhone. 😆 Interesting that you don’t set out to incorporate a place but sometimes end up doing so. I love learning about other’s process. 😀
