Roslyn asked Catherine McKenzie:

Do you live here in Cincinnati, Ohio? I only ask because I do. Whenever there is someone who mentions the city and one of our communities such as Mt. Adams, I am curious as to how they come to know?

Catherine McKenzie Hi, I don't live in your beautiful city but have visited it often when I attend the Books by the Banks book festival every October. Also, my sister's in-laws live there and her husband spent part of his childhood there. I wanted to set the book in an actual city (a first for me) and decided to pick Cincinnati because I had enjoyed my time there. I found Mount Adams by Googling "Expensive neighborhoods in Cincinnati" and then visited it when I was in town last fall on two separate occasions. Beautiful place!
