In my story "Ghost of a Chance", in the Love & Magick Anthology, I have Lester and Shelby meeting for the first time since high school at Backporch Coffee Roasters .
Her car won't start and Lester cleans up the battery contacts and gets the car started. Shelby buys him a cup of the wonderful coffee sold at Backporch Coffee Roasters.
I like using real locations in my stories. Doing that makes the story seem real.
There are so many details available from a real coffee shop, restaurant or park.
If you live in Bend, OR or visit be sure and stop by Backporch Coffee Roasters on Newport Ave, across the street from Newport Market.
The coffee is wonderful, and the shop is charming.
Lester was a geeky type in high school and Shelby was a self-centered cheerleader. Be sure and read Love & Magick to see if these two can get together!
Hi Diana,
ReplyDeleteHaving read "Ghost of a Chance" I think your blending of the real places and fictious ones adds a level of interest to your story. Trying to figure out what is real and what is from your creative imagination is part of the fun of reading "Ghost of a Chance".
Thanks Judith!
