Unless I mention otherwise in an author's note, the places that appear in the books—the bars and restaurants, the judo and jiu-jitsu training academies, the streets and alleys—are all real, and I have visited them all to make sure the details are right (tough job, I know. I try not to complain). Because some of these places are far away, I write a lot of notes and take photographs to refresh my recollection later. Here are some of those photos—see how they compare to what you saw in your mind's eye.
For contact information on the bars, restaurants, and other places that appear in the books, click here.
If you have photos of any of the venues that appear in the books and
would like to see them posted here, send me a message and let me
know. Bax Brown sent me some great ones of Brown Sugar and environs,
much better than the ones I took myself, and they're up on the Killing
Rain page now.
