Sherry asked Eli Easton:

Boy Shattered was a great read. As a Missouri native who grew up in an area not far from your fictional town of Silver Falls, though, I have to ask--is there any particular reason you set the story in Missouri? (Also, just FYI, when Landon goes to the rally at the state capitol, he should go to Jefferson City, not Springfield, MO. Unless you meant to send him to the capitol in Illinois, which is Springfield.)

Eli Easton Hi. Thanks for catching that. I can fix that on the next edition. I honestly don't know why Missouri? It just came to me that way. And at one point I tried to change it to PA where I live, to make it more familiar territory, but it just didn't feel right. The story feels Midwestern to me. I lived in Illinois for a while and have visited Missouri quite a bit. So I guess that's why!
