New York has a way of making you feel at home, no matter where you’re at. You just have to step off the street, and some neighborhood will claim you as one of their own.
I have a complicated history with New York City. I was raised in a farming village in Ohio, and I have a ton of anxiety in crowds, which means my first few trips to NYC resulted in some truly awful experiences. (There are so many people! Everywhere!!!)
But once I moved here for my day job in 2015, I really fell in love with how neighborhoods in the city somehow felt both small and large all at once. NYC is truly a place like no other, and I’m so glad I could build that love and appreciation of the city into this story through the eyes of my main character, Cal.
