I haven’t posted anything about my fiction in, oh, more than a year. But my trip to New York City was just the thing to clarify a few points. I know approximately where my characters live:
- Crux — Starts off near Kip’s Bay/Murray Hill, ends up in Gramercy
- Shaun — Upper West Side, near Lincoln Center.
- Crash — East Village, definitely. Alphabet City, most likely.
- Gary Huang — Starts off in Chelsea with Sam; Ends up on Christopher Street after Sam; Moves Midtown to be with Mitch.
- Mitch Warren — Midtown. Are there residential units in Midtown?
- Eric — Central Park South.
- Steve Holt — Chelsea.
- Phyllis — Greenwich Village.
- Ben Chang — Chelsea. (I haven’t actually written anything with Ben, but he’s something on the side for Gary).
- Kevin — Christopher Street. (He’s something on the side for Mitch. He has a brief mention in the first book.)
I haven’t quite pinpointed where Crash’s love interest, Det. Cleary, lives, but I’m thinking Brooklyn. (I’m thinking of changing Cleary’s first name from Mark to Jack or Jake. It sounds more cop.)
Maybe I should try to write something now …
