I'd never been there before, and chose the area where I'd set pack headquarters for my Chanku as a destination for one of our trips. I'd been using Google Maps and Google Earth to get a feel for the country, but seeing it in person made all the difference! Trip was a tax write off, but I use what I learned in and saw in every book I write about my Chanku shapeshifters.<br /><br />And, as you well know, it's a prerequisite to writing romance that we stay abreast of trends, styles, and sub-genres.<br /><br />Reading popular romances is important to keeping my writing fresh.<br /><br />Enjoy your book!<br /><br />KateKate Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05486916548114546095noreply@blogger.com
