Edward has a perverse streak. No surprise, I guess. When I was planning OBSIDIAN BUTTERFLY, book nine, I thought it would be set in Arizona or some place close to it. Edward had other ideas. He wanted it to be New Mexico, which I’d never visited. I argued, he won, and the moment I got off the plane and saw the landscape, I knew he was right. He did live here. I won’t even say what state I was putting this book in, but today when I went to the store to get some more detailed maps, well, books on Arizona kept getting my attention. The last time I tried to set an Edward book in Arizona, and he refused, this time I try for somewhere else, and it looks like he’s hinting for Arizona. Though, heaven knows, maybe he’ll pick some other place entirely. At least I’ve driven through Arizona.
