While editing in Atascadero, I realized that the location of my tale worked better in Mendocino County, especially in the Fort Bragg area. In part one of Ironic Dance, one of my key characters, Jake McAllister, is a logger. It turns out, that the working and life circumstances that I weave into the storyline, are very well represented by the old town that existed in Kibisilah Fort Bragg. That mill town is long gone but acquaintances have a vacation rental up there now. Fort Bragg is near and dear to me. I grabbed my little sister and off we went to Fort Bragg, where we visited all the amazing coastal spots and found so many wonderful stories of the history. My main focus is the 1870s which, as luck would have it, was a very interesting time full of drama and upheaval, so HERE WE ARE. Welcome to your new home, my beloved characters. Speaking with the Fort Bragg museum curator was a life-saver. I was able to have a better understanding of what life would have been like for my characters
