I am a great fan of Pinterest for researching settings and characters.<br />I enjoy reading a story where the setting is important to the story, I don't really mind where that is.Kandy Shepherdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16992773219169379298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-66086619345341149842017-07-04T09:00:10.662+10:002017-07-04T09:00:10.662+10:00I'm looking at those pictures of your leading ...I'm looking at those pictures of your leading men and nodding -- yep, research can be a tough job. ;-)<br /><br />I've just finished a book set on a vineyard which was full of detail about wine and grapes and things, and I loved that as a setting. Last night I watched a TV show called "So-and-So's (sorry can't remember his name) Homes by the Mediterranean." So now I want a book set in an amazing Venetian palace on a Dalmatian Island. :-)Michelle Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07748538761711892080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-57685013985332136482017-07-04T07:03:36.980+10:002017-07-04T07:03:36.980+10:00Love that idea of surveying readers, Shannon.

I'm always intrigued by how authors work, where they start, how they pull the elements together.<br /><br />I'm a fan of Nordic noir, which I reckon works really well with both suspense/thriller and paranormal elements. The isolation (caused by environment) often means that the investigators are brought in from elsewhere. Thus, something else I love, the classic fish-out-of-water.Bronwyn Jamesonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00720477786460767921noreply@blogger.com
