What an interesting, thoughtful piece on setting and the merits of historical novels! You’re right about needing beta readers from different backgrounds and geographical areas.
Hi Vic, I appreciate the conversation on setting. It will give me a different lens to revise some of the teaching stories. Seasons differ even in California as San Bernardino weather is different than Palm Springs weather and I want to make that distinction-
Yes, there is more variety in So Cal than we commonly think about. We think of the incredible heat of a Palm Springs summer, but the cold of winter—and the stunning views of the stark, rugged mountains—that’s such a draw for people who love the outdoors.

I look forward to reading more!
Thanks for reading!
