They are as close to the actual scenery as I've seen in a long time.<br />As for the setting, I find myself smiling as my novel, Sonora Symphony, a tale about a disable Cherokee warrior seeking to recover his past to regain his future, takes place outside Tuscon in the Tonto O'Odham Reservation.<br />Nice that we have a similar love of this little understood part of our great nation.Dale Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09040236779328386342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3529128955266044151.post-9845655117547010772011-11-14T17:59:18.532-05:002011-11-14T17:59:18.532-05:00As another Midnight Ink author who sets both of he...As another Midnight Ink author who sets both of her series in the West (Colorado, specifically), I'll chime in by saying that not only is the setting beautiful, adventuresome and interesting, it contains all sorts of opportunities for murder and mayhem! ;-)Beth Groundwaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13999372882748655834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3529128955266044151.post-31164766300550692802011-11-14T15:00:36.036-05:002011-11-14T15:00:36.036-05:00I can't wait for the next Del Shannon adventur...I can't wait for the next Del Shannon adventure, in the desert or wherever.

We like the isolation and the temps, but the desert can be pretty unfriendly.Shannon Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10540336783142324746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3529128955266044151.post-41416768283835737962011-11-14T12:54:44.109-05:002011-11-14T12:54:44.109-05:00Kathleen, Del Shannon's career is interesting ...Kathleen, Del Shannon's career is interesting to me, as it takes her into different settings. I have traveled all across the U.S. and have familiarity with many cities. It's nice to be able to explore and research different locations. It helps to keep me fresh.Darrell Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08394984700734588887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3529128955266044151.post-33602137950980508922011-11-14T12:17:36.135-05:002011-11-14T12:17:36.135-05:00I love books with a strong sense of place!
