Diane Taylor asked Kimberly Belle:

Hello! I am a new reader, and totally enjoying The Last Breath. Since I have to ask a question, lol....early on in the book, you mention a cigarette machine in Roadkill. Are there still cigarette machines in the south? Silly question I know....KEEP WRITING!!! We need you!!!

Kimberly Belle Hi Diane, and thanks for reading! TN is one of the states that still allows smoking in bars and restaurants 21 and over. Especially in Eastern TN (where Rogersville is located) there are smokers everywhere still. I may have taken a bit of license with the vending machine (they still exist but I haven't seen one in ages), but I liked the old-fashioned, backwoods feel it gave to that scene and especially to Roadkill. No matter how good Jake's food, the restaurant is still located in small-town TN, lol. ;) Thanks for reading, and so glad you're enjoying The Last Breath! xo
