WHO SAYS YOU CAN’T GO HOME AGAIN?
I recently had the pleasure of visiting central (rural) Idaho, the setting for The Imperfect Series. We drove down through Montana to Salmon, Idaho, on to Challis, and past the fictional location of Hastings Bluff.
{Hastings Bluff is named not for a water feature, but for a savvy card shark. )
Route 93 followed the Salmon River, sometimes a burbling brook, while other times it broached a Class III rapids river. Whatever form it took. The River was stunning as it wound through the wide valleys and canyons in sweeping “S” curves.
The pictures I took garnered tons of comments from my readers: “Wow, it looks exactly like I pictured it,” and “You nailed the description. I recognized the landscape right away!”
Words an author never tires of hearing.
As we drove through the Lost River Mountain Range, I relived scene after scene from each of my books. Even my honey got into the zone with questions and 
comments like, “Is this where Cassie hog tied Derek by the
side of the road?” and “This looks like it might be the entrance to the ranch, where Lucy had to make the crazy turn to escape the stalker shooting at her,” and “I can picture the little town square, the diner, and the sheriff’s office right there.”
Writers are the luckiest people in the world. We have extended families and can visit with them anytime, anywhere.
I thoroughly enjoyed my “family reunion.”
