To keep the series fresh, Tempe is going to solve a crime in a new place--Morro Bay. I picked Morro Bay because it's spot we've often visited.
Morro Rock is the tip of a no-longer producing valcano and has some history, folk-lore, and spirituality with the two local Indian tribes. Since Tempe is an Indian, there is a strong connection there--one I can include in the plot.
Three characters in the book are Ethiopian--as far as ethnicity is concerned--though American citizens. This made it necessary to do some reserach about Ethiopia. Besides the Internet, I connected with a fellow Central Coast Sister in Crime member who served with the Peace Corp in Ehtiopia. Perfect.
I'm only on Chapter 5--but the ideas keep flowing--all I need more of is time.
Writing two very different series at the same time isn't easy--but I have to admit that I do enjoy it.

Oh, my goodness, when I looked at this this monring, I found so many typos, I must've been sleep walking or writing when I wrote it.
