Locations in Storm Rising - Part Two - Martha's Vineyard

Today's location is definitely not one that I know personally.  Up until I wrote Storm Rising, my knowledge of Martha's Vineyard was gleaned entirely from Jaws films, and Linda Fairstein novels!  So I had to do a bit of research for this one.  It's somewhere I've always wanted to visit and I was very glad I could find a way to introduce it into the book.  I love the name.  It really conjures up a beautiful place to go and relax - and eat lots of clams, washed down with white wine. 

Although Gideon only spends a short time on the island in Storm Rising, I do use this location again in the third and fourth books.  I hope I got it all right - I even took a lot of time working out how long the flight to England would take in a Learjet.  Hopefully one day I shall be able to visit Martha's Vineyard myself and see if it's how I imagine it to be.
