I like how you said, "have a flavor of history" in the stories. I have been studying local historical books for my historical fiction mystery novel to seem more real. What do you think about using specific regional facts in writing? For example, using a fictitious name for a country town that is similar to the real name of the place? I'd like your hear your thoughts. Thank you Mr. Leonard.
