CONVERSATION WITH A CABBIE, PART II

“Did you know that parts of Dracula were set in Whitby?” the cabbie said as we drove past the waterfront and headed into town.

“I did.” I studied the colourful boats idly tugging at their moorings. “There’s a bench not far from that ruined church on the hilltop where the count met Mina Harker at night and sucked her blood.”

“That’s the one.” He paused as we drove past the Endeavour hotel. “So, are you hoping to find inspiration in this place?”

I chuckled. “No, I’m doing research... trying to find locations to use as a setting for my next novel.”

“You’re bringing Martin and Claire to England?” He sounded pleasantly surprised.

“That’s the plan.”

“But they’ll have no official status.... They’ll have to investigate as private individuals?”

“That’s the general idea.”

“Wow! I can’t wait to read it.”

“I haven’t even started it yet.”

“Then I’ll just have to make do with INTRIGUE AT SANDY POINT until it comes out.”

“I guess you will.”
