Red Clay and Roses, a published work is set in my hometown of LaGrange, Ga and is a fictionalized true story. My work in progress, a crime series is set in the city and surrounding area of Orlando, FL where I have lived for more than 16 years. I write best when I write about what I know. It comes off as more believable, I think. Having such a strong love of history, I wouldn’t want to mess up the details of someplace else, like when Christopher Moore wrote about the sewers of San Francisco (which they don’t have). They do have storm drains, but not the same thing.
