WHERE 'HIDING EZRA' HAPPENS
Hello readers!
Here's a link to a few pictures I thought you would enjoy if you have read HIDING EZRA. Cut-n-paste this into your browser or click the link:
http://www.ritasimsquillen.com/where-...
These are some of the real places that I used as settings for various scenes in the story. Each pic has a note that pops up when you hold your mouse over it.
That's not to say that these places, these houses, are anything other than pretend locations! The owners or residents of the houses, for instance, are in no way connected with the story or the real people that the novel is loosely based on! I just needed to imagine a place that "worked" in my mind as a feasible location to see each scene clearly and vividly.
I did not rename or re-arrange my county the way Faulkner did with his infamous Yoknapatawpha County (if I ever make up a fictional place with a name that impossible to say and spell, somebody slap me!). But like Faulkner, my story could not be told in some other place or geography. It is in, and of, these mountains and valleys where I have lived my entire life, organic as the soil itself.
