Actually he's only a short sail across the Irish Sea. Just askin'.

What a fun experience! I, too, have a weakness for Scottish highlander historicals. Will have to try listening to them on tape - never thought of that! :)Anne Marie Beckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17603878676306179018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7545210782126483136.post-20305121870223828292013-08-16T13:10:57.362-07:002013-08-16T13:10:57.362-07:00(I logged in as someone else just then...) I think...(I logged in as someone else just then...) I think you're right, Rita. If I could actually find my turret I could probably write anything. I've written romantic suspense in New Hampshire and St. Lucia, so why not Scotland? And yes, Elise, Daniel Craig is welcome to star in anything I ever write!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00469273412182622279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7545210782126483136.post-72575330180731458142013-08-16T13:08:04.382-07:002013-08-16T13:08:04.382-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Joanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10257868988898085390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7545210782126483136.post-72358376485405219682013-08-16T12:23:37.704-07:002013-08-16T12:23:37.704-07:00I loved Scotland but I did have to buy a bubble ja...I loved Scotland but I did have to buy a bubble jacket there in Sept. A good deal colder than NYC. I think I saw those same waiters in their kilts. I don't have to be in a place but I do have to learn a good deal about it to write a story. When I do travel, I gather material and take scads of photos. Perhaps you'll get Daniel Craig to star in the movie version of your next book.Elise Warnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12111849185666548945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7545210782126483136.post-32382332732911716222013-08-16T10:18:01.839-07:002013-08-16T10:18:01.839-07:00The place I write has nothing to do with what I...The place I write has nothing to do with what I'm writing. It does contribute to my state of mind. Many authors I know can write anyplace, in a busy airport. In the hotel lobby while attending a conference. I need serenity. Scotland would certainly do the trick.LOL!

Th...Oh, can I come sit up in your turret with you?<br /><br />There's some contemporary suspense in the highlands. At least when James Bond gets involved. I loved that Skyfall went back to the mother-land.<br /><br />But yes, atmosphere plays heavily on your writing...I think. <br /><br />Have a great trip!Maureen A.
