Does Location Really Matter?

Absolutely!  Location is the base of which the story becomes plausible.  "Tied Up For Love" takes place in Ancient Greece.

A great deal of information is known about what life was like in Ancient Greece and the scenery is also fairly well established, which offers a good stable platform to write a story based in this period.  The Mythological Messes Redux series is founded in giving mythological characters a second chance at a new ending and I think from the offer through to the outcome needs to be plausible.


The most difficult part in writing this series is when I need to take a known site and manipulate it enough to suit the story, without creating something that wouldn't be possible during that period.  I did that in "Tied Up For Love" and found myself wishing it really existed.  To the right is where I started.

I love a challenge!  You'll have to check out the soon to be released "Tied Up For Love" [April 15] and see what happens to this hole in the rockface.

Thinking back to the four previous stories in the Mythological Messes Redux series, only one [Double Punch takes place largely in San Francisco] has a footing in contemporary times.  Mount Olympus, various temples, residential dwellings, settings out amongst nature and a forge are where most of the important things take place in this series.
