Is it real?
In The Winged Child, young Millicent McTeer grows up at Hillhaven Inn with her doting parents, indulgent staff and resident ghosts. Hillhaven also provides a scene setting in three of my other novels (Between Times, Laurel Falls, Slick Rock Creek) as well as a couple of short stories. A reader might wonder if it is a real place.
It is real to me. I have been there, eaten there, slept there, and yes, it is as much haunted in this world as in my books. Of course, on the map, it goes by a different name and it isn't in Asheton (although not far away). The first reader who can identify the "real" Hillhaven, will get a free signed copy of The Winged Child when she flies in February.
The Winged Child will be available for pre-order starting December 1.
Ok..wild guess..is it the Biltmore?
ReplyDeleteBiltmore is much fancier, Sharon, but you're only about forty miles off.
