(The riverboats, not murder. Well, maybe murder too - I don't watch the news.)<br /><br />I like dive bars much better than last resort motels... <br /><br />LynnLynn Cahoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12075459480706211807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7041804343600978883.post-24879474115496541882013-12-10T16:13:39.626-06:002013-12-10T16:13:39.626-06:00Lynn--

A scene in my mystery The Anything Goes Girl takes place in Vegas. An assassin moves from the glitz and glamor of the Flamingo Hotel to "a last-resort resort" motel-casino. He goes there to collect a debt from a deadbeat gambler, and the scene is anything but glamorous or redemptive. But "whatever floats your boat" is my perspective on writers' choices. In the end, all that matters is whether it works.Barry Knisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03191575373788669991noreply@blogger.com
