The months might shift a bit (writing December for a February release), but my books (being suspense) tend to have fairly short timelines so I can do that. I also do my best to write my series in real time as well. Six months between books release = six months between book settings and background event progression.M. L.

Spring comes pretty rapidly and is gone all too quickly. <br /><br />I write most of my books set during the Season, which is after Easter, so I don't get to choose the season all that much.Shanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06267793335415078380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-46756480896976003142012-09-26T11:58:42.804-04:002012-09-26T11:58:42.804-04:00I love summer, always summer.

Bare feet, heat, and then the cooling rain. <br />Loved the pictures of your flowers. <br /><br />AmeliaAmeliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07603588884175706382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-59448524532713082042012-09-26T09:25:19.961-04:002012-09-26T09:25:19.961-04:00I've found my employer's online company di...I've found my employer's online company directory is a great source of character names, and I must admit that I've taken a real-world colleague's annoying communication tendencies, exaggerated them, and given them to a not-so-likeable continuing character. <br /><br />One cool thing about living in MN is that the seasons change fairly radically, and quite frequently. Last week, it snowed in Duluth - on the last day of summer. ;-) <br />Tamara Hoganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07248676173138017003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-68430875232333791542012-09-26T08:41:26.418-04:002012-09-26T08:41:26.418-04:00Same here, Carolyn, I was writing A SEAL Wolf Chri...Same here, Carolyn, I was writing A SEAL Wolf Christmas in the dead of summer. That's like the dead of winter only desert hot. Though we were still green. <br /><br />I love fall, though it's not colorful here and it's over in a blink of an eye. We've had 90's all week, and next week it's 79 for a high. That's our fall. Then it will be cold. All of a sudden. I love seasons, but here we really don't get much of them. Someone once said we have hot, hotter and hottest.Terry Spearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14788961423817944896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-40688572512046743752012-09-26T08:27:01.516-04:002012-09-26T08:27:01.516-04:00Awesome post.

However, I wrote all of the Christmas books in the middle of summer heat so I had to pretend that it was snowing instead of three digit numbers on the thermometer! <br />It rained last night so our air has that fresh wet smell that promises that summer is really on the way out and fall is right around the corner. It's my favorite season so I'm looking forward to it!Carolyn Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14704111268464382004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-12812492608111832782012-09-26T07:43:04.038-04:002012-09-26T07:43:04.038-04:00I write setting best when I'm writing the seas...I write setting best when I'm writing the season it is now, and if one of my books is set in winter but comes out in summer, that irks me. This is what happens when a country girl tries to write fiction... <br />I take the walks too: That last cutting of round bales is coming off this week, the undergrowth has gone to red and yellow, the winter coats are coming into evidence on the beasts.<br />Maybe I write so I have an excuse to notice that I live.

It's so easy to describe the crisp air, colorful maple leaves, the taste of apples...<br /><br />As for using real people...I use fans names when they want me to, but make sure they know the character has nothing to do with them.
