Holiday and novels

I get a lot of requests for information on some of the real life locations in my books. This why you will find maps in most editions now, and annotated Google maps for the titles on this site. But it never really occurred to me that people would want to organise some kind of formal tour of Rome to see what the places Costa and co visit look like.

I was, of course, wrong. There’s a lovely new web site which will let those of you interested in locations featured in novels swap info and pictures. My work is there along with that of Denise Mina, Lee Child, Jim Kelly, Elizabeth George and a bunch of others. It’s a great idea and the more people join in the better it will get. Congratulations to Jane Long who began Novels and Holidays, and I’m flattered to find out it was a Costa book and a holiday in Rome that begat the idea. Please take a look and help Jane build this into a great site combining travel and fiction.
