    Thanks, NJ. I love the background/setting research. Books are great for armchair travel!

    Erin, most of them. The ones I haven’t been to in person I did research overkill to compensate. Haven’t been to Hedeby Noor or the English/Scottish border, especially not in Viking or Medieval times, so I really went nutso on the research for those two. I actually studied artist’s renderings of Hedeby during the Viking age, what it would have looked like. My husband and I did a motorcycle ride along the High Plains Desert route Drake and Melinda rode, and I also rode on a Ducati Monster. *g* Authenticity! I haven’t been to Hell, but I’m pretty sure Barry Manilow music really does play there, and you can’t turn it off. *eg*

    LMAO! Dakota Cassidy would think that Barry Manilow music played in heaven not hell *g* The soundtrack would alternate between him and Tom Jones.

    I loved your response!

    Shan, Franklin is a neat town, isn’t it? Rip away, you’ve got some cool settings.
