Hi, and welcome to another Round Robin Blog event, held once a month and hosted by Rhobin Lee Courtright. Without further adieu, I'll dive in to this month's topic:
What is the most inspiring, romantic or dangerous setting you ever came across while reading or imagined while writing? Do you have a preference for a certain time and place for a story?
Wow, Rhobin comes up with some great fodder for discussion, and this one is tough. I'm a western historical romance girl at heart. Yes, I've tried writing other genres, but somehow tend to migrate back to my favorite. As a pantser, I'm usually led by my characters in writing, but on one occasion, a discussion with my nephew made my imagination run wild. The result of my 'dangerous' setting became a novella called The Locket.
The Locket was one of the toughest stories to write because I didn't have a hero or heroine, per se and I didn't have someone telling me a story. The 'object' of the my tale is a beautiful necklace that started a chain of destruction through the eras by causing the wearers of what was often a gift, or lucky find, to suffer unexplained rage and a need for murder.
This book is probably the most unusual, inspiring and dangerous setting I've ever conjured up on my own. Yes, it's not a western and there certainly isn't much romance involved, but I'm very proud of my attempt to venture away from my norm and create something without a voice in my head to guide me. I hope you'll check it out.
All my books are listed on my Amazon page.
