Today, for a change of pace, I thought I’d take you on a little virtual pre-tour of the sites of my books–particularly the ones I might get to see next month in England. =)

These first ones are places I won’t see, but which Brook and Justin, Rowena and Brice certainly did. To start our Ladies of the Manor tour, Brook would have arrived in North Yorkshire by steam train . . .

and then gotten her first view (eventually, not from the train, LOL) of Whitby Abbey.

 Rowena, on the other hand grew up in a castle built out on a Highland loch…

…before moving to the Sussex countryside near Brighton–and also near the white chalk cliffs of the Seven Sisters.

Then we move on to the soon to release A Lady Unrivaled–and the places I get to go! For starters, the oh-so-picturesque Cotswolds villages…

The climax of A Name Unknown, which I just rewrote, takes place in the Cornish coastal countryside, much like this.

We may also take a day trip (maybe) into Wales to visit Cardiff, where the book I’m currently writing, A Song Unheard, will take place. Perhaps we’ll get a peek at Castle Coch (The Red Castle) nearby…

I haven’t determined the setting for the final book in the Shadows Over England series…but my plan is to pick a place I’ve seen and loved during my trip. 😉

And after I get back, you can rest assured that I’ll take you on another tour, using photos I actually took! (Or that my husband did. I’m lousy with a camera.) All these photos were purchased from Shutterstock. 😉

Now back to the real work I go!
