I have always wanted to set a book in a foreign country, but I feel a bit out of my element so I haven't attempted it.

Settings are important to me...and on my vacations, I can't help but put a novel smack dab in the middle of things. Hope you have/had a great cruise!Rolynn Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09504770204968969467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9023937099212820339.post-23101544490699603542016-03-16T11:22:27.289-04:002016-03-16T11:22:27.289-04:00Looks like you're having a great time!

But, I've used settings from places where I traveled years and years ago. So maybe I hoarded all that visual info like a squirrel with nuts, and a few of them roll out every now and then! Or maybe I'm just nuts...

They're awesome. <br /><br />To answer your question, my first trip to Pairs sparked the Red Hand Conspiracy series, a romantic suspense set in Paris...terrorists, French agents, American travelers. I've gotten the rights back and will soon revamp to self-publish. A trip to a friend's condo along the Gulf of Mexico in Indian Rocks Beach, just south of Clearwater, FL became the setting for my firemen series, Wild Heat. A Wild Rose Press writers retreat at a dude ranch in the hill country of Texas is now the setting for my Black Eagle Ops series. My second trip to Paris sparked a romance set during the Lost Generation with writers and artists who frequented the original Shakespeare and Company. We walked the streets around the building and I took pictures like crazy. I haven't started it yet and I doubt a publisher will want it, so it's on my self-pub list. Vacations do spark ideas.Vonnie Davis ~ Romance Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07360480832587538895noreply@blogger.com
