THE SIGNIFICANCE OF SETTING by Rachel Sharpe
When I first decided to begin the Jordan James, PI series, I only knew two things - I wanted her to be a private investigator, and I wanted to set the series in New England.
Although I was born and raised just outside of New Orleans, Louisiana, my father’s family is from New England and I have been fortunate enough to spend a lot of time there.
It is easily one of my favorite vacation destinations for many reasons, including the picture above. I took that picture a few summers’ ago when I visited my cousins on Martha’s Vineyard.
Martha’s Vineyard is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been and after that trip, I knew I wanted to set one story on the island, which I did in LOST DISTINCTION.
I have always felt that setting is just as important as character development and plot which is why I have spent so much time choosing the settings for all of my stories.
Thanks, Rachel for sharing the great picture and why you chose an island setting for LOST DISTINCTION.
I'm a big Jordan James, PI fan and recommend the suspense novels to all mystery readers. Take a peek at them, below. Click on the covers to see them on Amazon!

In the midst of this, she discovers she is falling for her mysterious client despite the hints of his dark past. Can this feisty Southern girl with a penchant for trouble solve this baffling case or is she doomed to become another tragic chapter in an international conspiracy?
