When you tell a story, the
location is just as important as the characters involved. The setting can
become a character itself. One of the challenges of basing a novel in a real
city or town is choosing locations for your action. When do you use a real
business or locale as opposed to a fictional one? It’s a tough call, but if you
want readers to connect with your story keeping one foot in the real world can
help.
One of the real locations
included in “Killing Karma” is Macayo’s
on Central Avenue in downtown Phoenix. An
institution in Phoenix for almost 70 years, Woody and Victoria Johnson opened
their first restaurant in the downtown area in 1946. Macayo’s is still family
owned and operated to this day, making it a perfect setting for a story about
someone discovering what a real family is all about.
When you’re in the area, be
sure to stop in and enjoy the same experience as Missy and James!
