What makes Dave Barry funny? Stephen King scary? Tami Hoag heartbreaking? All readily admit that where they live greatly influences what they write. Indeed, for both writers and readers, geography may well be destiny when it comes to fiction. Novelists often borrow from their surroundings, consciously or subconsciously, to create their imaginative worlds, just as we readers are drawn to those works that transport us to more exciting and inspiring locales, be it Hemingway's Havana, Faulkner's Yoknapatawpha County or McMurtry's Lonesome Dove.

Autorenporträt
Jay L. MacDonald is a former award-winning United Press International wire service reporter who checked out of the news mainstream and into the heady world of "Key Weird" to pursue fiction. He lived in a dilapidated Cuban rooming house, worked days as a hired worker, and spent nights writing in Key West's most notorious watering holes. Since 2000, he has served as an online freelance feature writer and author interviewer for popular dot-coms Bankrate, BookPage, CreditCards and Montana Press, as well as the Sunday Books Editor for the Fort Myers (Fla.) News-Press daily newspaper, which spawned his Austin Macauley nonfiction debut, "Crazy from the Heat: Fun in the Sun with 35 Florida Authors."
