| The explorers |
As a writer, I always like to mix things up. I like writing different styles and moods and in different sub-genres. In particular I like mixing up locations.
I've set books in South Sudan, in the Yukon, in British Columbia, Haiti, the Outer Banks of North Carolina, Muskoka Turks and Caicos, and even where I live in Prince Edward County, Ontario.
Writing in different places, gives me wonderful opportunities to visit all these great places.
Case in point.
Elementary She Read, the first in my new Sherlock Holmes Bookstore and Emporium series will be out next spring. The series is set in Cape Cod. The last time I was in Cape Cod was in 1969.
I thought it might have changed a bit.
So I headed down with my youngest daughter for a quick (far too quick) research trip. Here are some pictures of things I saw.

| Lighthouses! |

| A small harbour |

| This is a salt-box house, the style my character lives in |
 |
| Isn't' this perfect for the Sherlock Holmes Bookshop and Emporium! |
