On Location: When We Vanished

Instilling my novels with a tangible sense of place is very important to me. Plus, this gives me an excuse to explore some of my favorite spots in the Seattle area under the guise of doing book research. (Although, in my world, pretty much everything is book research.)

Check out these galleries of some of the locations mentioned in When We Vanished (and other books in the series)!
