The Mosquito Song Trivia #4
Most of the locations of the book are real or, at the very least, based on real locations.
Since it is set in 2009, some things have already changed. For instance, Daley is no longer Mayor of Chicago. Plus, the welcome to Ohio sign mention mid-book seems to be different now. The old, blood-colored one can be seen here.

Another update
1. The Mosquito Song sells really well when it is free.
2. An MP3 of me reading a chapter is floating in cyberspace right now.
3. The first draft of Werewolf Thanksgiving should be done by this time next week.
4. After that, it is either re-write a old script into a novel, write Mosquito 2, re-visit my weird-o Mortal Kombat meets Amber style story, or write a cash-in romance novel about gentle fucking in exotic locations.
