Love Dianna’s question for me today: What made you want to
set your werewolf series in Scotland?
It’s been so long since I have talked about My Blood Series.
There is a reason for that, and one I can’t go into just yet, but until the day
of that post I’m just going to go ahead and say that the reason is . . . Wide
open spaces.
Yup, I set a big part of the series in Scotland because of
the glens, moors, hills/mountains, forest and fields.
When I decided I wanted to write about werewolves I
automatically knew that my Werewolves were going to be old school; monster
wolves. I’m talking similar to The Wolf Man (in both the titled movie and Van
Helsing), the guys out of Underworld. Yeah, my werewolves can walk around and
fight like men in wolf form. These guys are big. I’m talking “monster! Grab
your pitchforks and torches” scary big. So, they needed space. They needed
freedom to run wild, and it just made sense to me. I mean what better place to
set my Pack then in Farr, Scotland. Right up top.
I couldn’t see these big bulky wolves running wild in
cities. Don’t get me wrong, some of my Weres live in the city, and other Packs
outside the country have to. I just wanted my main pack to be in Scotland. It
felt right. Scotland just made sense to me. Plus, Scottish men? Yes please.
Scottish Werewolves? Hell yes. How could I not have Scottish Weres? Owen MacLaren in a kilt? That's a bone melting, mouth watering, heart stopping image, right there. ;-D
Plus, Scotland is beautiful, and full of history and myths.
It’s magical and a place where it is very easy to imagine such creatures
roaming, don’t you think?
Although it is mainly UK based, and my main characters are
from the UK, the series does move around a little.
The Blood Series Prequel: She-Wolf – is set in Scotland.
Book One: Cranberry Blood – is set in London and Scotland.
Book Two: Untitled – is going to be set in Rome, Venice . . . and I’m still kinda figuring the rest out.

Big jump in scenery, not to mention weather. Why you ask,
well, you’re just going to have to wait and find out. ;-P
