I can see how it would bring so much more into a story. Thank you for sharing this.

I am sure we should be spending more time in the open air and in touch with the seasons.
Places are characters in other media too…..Oxford’s place in Morse or Glasgow in Taggart for example.

I could not agree with you more. The books I enjoy reading most are ones with a strong sense of place and a strong element of nature woven into the story.

In my own writing, nature is a key theme. My recent novel, Peculiar Savage Beauty, takes place during the 1930s in the Dust Bowl – that setting most definitely takes on a life of its own in the story, along with the more traditional characters.

Thanks for sharing your insights!
