The
Italian Lakes the Perfect Setting for a Sexy Fantasy
If
you've already read The Dragon Legacy
you will know it is set in the picturesque English Lake District, an area I know
really well and love. If would like to read about the setting for The Dragon Legacy
head over to Mac Rome's blog 'Stories of Romance'.
The next book in the series features two
characters from The Dragon Legacy;
Jasmine and Zane. I loved Jasmine a young witch and Zane a shape-shifter whose
alter ego is a beautiful silver wolf from the moment I created them for my
first book but I had to play down their role because The
Dragon Legacy was Fleur and Lukas'
story.
When
creating a story I decide where the story will be set first I love lakes and
mountains and I can easily imagine dragons flying in the skies and hiding in
mountain caves and wolves roaming the woodland that clings precariously to the
hillsides.
I
decided on the Italian Lakes and Venice for Jasmine and Zane's romantic
adventure.
Lake
Garda is a beautiful dichotomy of rugged often snowy mountains and clear calm
lakes bordered by pretty villages and towns. The first picture shows Lake Garda.
The second Bardolino a town close to Lake Garda famed for its wine. The grapes
used in the wine grow on the surrounding hillsides.

Venice will also feature prominently because
of its romantic ambiance and the mystique it creates in my imagination. Steeped
in history it will make a lovely setting for my paranormal characters. I think
this picture illustrates it perfectly.

I'll
be back blogging here on 13th February 2014 and will have an exclusive excerpt
from Jasmine and Zane's adventure.
In
the meantime check out my blog Jane
Hunt Writer First Steps where I am
running a poll to decide on the title for Jasmine and Zane's adventure. The
title I like best will win an e-copy of The Dragon Legacy and a crackle
handmade necklace as featured on my Pinterest board The
Dragon Legacy -Fleur . Poll
runs from 1-28 February 2014.
