If you're anything like me, now is the time of year when I start thinking about where I'd like to go on vacation in the upcoming year. My husband and I have been fortunate enough to do a lot of traveling over the years. Many of our favorite places show up in our books. Our favorite U.S. city is New Orleans and we've been there many, many times. Our mystery, "The Ghost in the Plantation" takes place there and we've tried incorporating as many of the locales of the Crescent City and Louisiana as possible.
We love the lore of Route 66, and after we went to Disney's California Adventure and saw the movie "Cars", we decided to write a story about the famous highway in "The Buried Treasure on Route 66". We've just come back from a pilgrimage to Minnesota where we searched for the fictional Lake Wobegon, and wrote a book called "The Missing Bachelor Farmer". Last, but not least, our book "England in the Footsteps of Literary Giants" is pure travelogue, showing pictures and descriptions of the hometowns of our favorite British writers. Check out our books at your favorite bookstores and we'll take you on a wonderful journey.
