Hey Bryan, Does setting play an important role? For me, setting plays a huge role. I always feel I'm seeing with clearer vision when I'm in a place I haven't been before.

Bryan Murphy Hello, Marylee. I tend to set my stories in places I know well: Brighton for "Madeleine's Drug", Turin for much of "Goodbye, Padania" and Zipolite for "Houlihan's Wake". I hope that the specific setting adds extra interest to all those stories. However, to see them with clearer vision, I often set the tale in the future, when they will have changed, for better or for worse.
