Hey peeps,
This is where you can post any questions or concerns regarding specifics in your story.
I'll get the ball rolling with a question to all you hardcore Newfoundlanders out there! I received an email from the ML for Dartmouth, NS, who wants to set her novel in rural Newfoundland, in "a small town surround by woods, with 3 even smaller towns fairly close by." Does anyone know of a place like this? I'm only familiar with St. John's and the area, so some help/ideas would be appreciated and I'll forward them to her.
Thanks!
Da ML,
Jam

Smaller than small? Really if you want to be geographically correct then you only need the first one. The other three wouldn't really even qualify to be on a map. Though, Birch Hills is a lot like that. It's got Coleys Point, Shears Town and Clarke's Beach. Though Clarke's Beach is the bigger of the four.

Good thing anything is possible in a novel.

Are you calling yourself a hardcore Newfoundlander Sam? tehehe! Those places aren't really surrounded by forest, plus Bay Roberts is kind of attached to all of them which makes them less small town and more just areas. Im sure there are quite a few places like that out there, Im just not very familiar with many of them.

Anything between Kingston and Northern Bay would work well I've been around these parts a lot so I recommend it, there's a lot of trees and a lot more nothing.
