“More Than Mere Setting” — my guest blog post at Late Last Night Books

2005-12-22 08.35.17I was recently invited to do a guest blog post for Late Last Night Books, which you can read here: More than Mere Setting. The post is a short discussion of the importance of setting in fiction in which I make several references to my own work.

I was also interviewed on that blog by Sally Whitney, which interview you can read here: Interview with Clifford Garstang.

Thanks to Sally Whitney for inviting me to participate!
