Keeping it local
Lyndon Stacey's Somerset based thrillers have a strong local following. It's not a bad thing to place a novel in a town or village but be careful. Lyndon has a fictional villlage in Somerset which means her imagination isn't restricted by a real place although her characters do go to the bone fide places. Best of both worlds!
