Stepping Into the Story Through Pictures

As I announced earlier this week, I recently uploaded a novel manuscript to the Swoon Reads site to be considered for publication. The creation of this story has taken years of writing and revising to get it to where it is today. But all along that journey images of where several of the events of the story took place stayed firmly in mind as I wrote, helping me to evoke that scene and setting. Like my main character I grew up in a very rural area on a small farm where the fields and pastures were often surrounded by woods and forests. Here are just a few images of the real places that inspired some of the scenes in my novel.

Fire pit near where Caryn wakes up the first time in the woods

Drive from Caryn's house leading out to the pastures and farm

The paths in the woods Caryn ventures down

Pasture gate near where the cattle carcasses are found
