It may have to do with the fact that all four books I've written are based in actual places, rather than a world I've imagined. In the Odd Job Squad, I use a combination of real San Francisco landmarks and places I made up. The Coit Tower, the Gateway Arch in Chinatown and the Cable Car Museum all exist, but the Hotel Capri, where one of the book's pivotal scenes takes place, does not.Karlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16640640182868046049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4335874032648742697.post-39756956853969823262013-04-16T14:15:19.097-05:002013-04-16T14:15:19.097-05:00Enjoyed reading your informative interview.

I never found out who it was, but if I could, I would have the Odd Job Squad take a bunch of random keys, put them on keychains labeled "Reward if found" along with the thief's phone number, and scatter the keychains around town. Then the person who stole my CD player would get a flood of calls from people wanting their reward money. Um, not that I'm still bitter or anything. :-)Karlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16640640182868046049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4335874032648742697.post-34930355552276025312013-04-16T07:46:12.686-05:002013-04-16T07:46:12.686-05:00Hi Karl!
