Rachel asked Claudette Melanson:

I just voted for Rising Tide in BOTM. Two reasons...loved the blurb and secondly, the mention of Indiana, PA. Was there a reason you chose to set the book in Indiana? I know you attended college there, but I'm curious.

Claudette Melanson Thank you very much! I did go to college there and the Ron the character is based on went to college there with me. I loved living there and had so many good times. It's also easier/more believable to write about things and places you know. Thanks so much for your interest in Rising Tide :)
