I know, in real life experience, the place has so much to do with how I respond to stimuli. When I fully explore the setting of a book, be it a real place or a created world, the sensory details are very important. I want to forget I'm reading and feel I'm living the book.

Wish I could've heard your workshop. One thing I love about writing historicals is the richness of setting. I find that harder to achieve in the few contemps I've done. Thanks for the backup, Cheryl.

I recently did a workshop on setting as a character, and you are so right about the important part it plays. More than we think. Gorgeous cover, Elizabeth!
