Had the need today to page through some pictures that tie back with books in my Bodies of Art series, and thought I’d share them with anyone needing a little Armchair Traveling for the day. I’ve thrown in pictures I used for all four books written–but only 3 are available for sale right now. The fourth, Fatal Forgeries, will be released in 2017. Sit back. Enjoy.
For a bit of a picture legend to these shots–
The first two pictures are London, where all the Bodies of Art Books are at some point each time. Third is the hilly street of Le-Puy-en-Velay from Counterfeit Conspiracies, fourth-through sixth is Florence for Marked Masters, seventh is a picture of Cassie’s flat entrance mentioned in book #1 & visited by Laurel & Jack in book #4, with the eighth the artists restoration pit where Cassie worked at the Victoria & Albert Museum that Laurel used to get away from Jack in book #1.
The next beach shot is Barcelona from Fatal Forgeries, followed by the Raphael Sibyls featured in Abstract Aliases. The small church coming up next is the Rome’s Santa Maria della Pace where The Sibyls reside, then Baden-Baden one of the stops after Rome in Abstract Aliases.
The bar scene beside the Baden-Baden shot is in the Bar at La Boqueria in Barcelona as in Fatal Forgeries. The two fountains are the Trevi Fountain in Rome (left with classical statues) and Font Magica in Barcelona (right-colorful). And the next two shots are additional colorful sights of Barcelona, Spain from my Fatal Forgeries notes–the first a market shot of Le Boqueria on La Ramblas and the second a view of the mosaics used in architecture by Gaudi. The final two are shots Cologne, Germany–both of which feature the amazing cathedral where the mystery continued for Laurel & Jack in Abstract Aliases.
Hey, so cool, I recognized each and every spot..thanks.
Hope you’re having a great afternoon, Maria 🙂
So, when’s FF set to drop
Probably next summer. We just started the editing process now 🙂
It is so cool seeing the places that I have imagined as I read your books. Thanks for the personal share!
You’re so welcome, Jeanie. This kind of stuff has been on my to-do list for awhile now, and someday I’m going to set aside a page for these kinds of things. But this short set in the meantime was a fun project while I was working out some plot problems and needed to look at the location shots. Glad you enjoyed them 🙂
It’s a shame these pic’s couldn’t have been in the Ebooks! Thanks so much, Ritter for posting them! Can’t wait for F.F.! Sorry I haven’t been on face book…..my iPad died! Missed you!
Oh, no! I’m so sorry your iPad went kaputz. How awful for you. Had my own laptop catastrophe in mid-Oct. so I know that feeling, Helga. I’d love to put more pictures and notes and things on my website–the stuff I use all the time while I’m writing–but so far I simply haven’t had the time to do all that and everything else. Maybe one day when I’m rich and famous and have people. Or just a person–I could be happy with my own person. Honey would happily try, but she’s all paws when it comes to keying in anything 🙂
