Julian asked Robert Dugoni:

Just finished In the Clearing, the third Tracy Crosswhite novel, I thought you covered small town social behavior beautifully. Did you grow up in a similar community?

Robert Dugoni No, but I spent some time in a small town here in Washington and spoke with several people who did grow up in a small town to get it right. Not all small towns are the same, but there can be similarities.
Thanks for asking
