Hi Donna,

I don’t know if it will help but we do have one called “Razed City Street” that sounds a bit like what you’re looking for. There’s also “Ancient Ruins” and possibly a few others. You can find them at our expanded thesaurus at One Stop for Writers here: https://onestopforwriters.com/scene_settings

I would love to read the review…but I actually have to read the book first! I think Becca has read it though (and has encouraged me to!) so if you leave a link we can check it out. 🙂

I love graveyards, as morbid as that is. The older, the better. I live in New England so we have some old ones up here.

I have a request for a setting thesaurus. What about blight? Like a rotting Victorian building in the middle of a city or a barn looking like it’s about to cave in on itself. You know what I mean?

And Angela, you need to read my review of City of Bones on my blog. I couldn’t stop thinking of this site when I was reading that book. You’ll see why . . .

Nice resource here. I have an entry on the art of writing on my blog which you may find of interest. Cheers.

I love graveyards, too. My husband thinks it’s weird…

Donna, I just read your blog--I agree, that example did make me think of us.

Thanks Kelly. I was actually going to do Police Station next, but the new book I'm writing has a graveyard scene coming up, so i wanted to be ready!

PJ, I guess we have a mental connection thing going on, lol. That, or I'm watching you. *cue psycho music*

It’s so funny how many places you pick I have as locations in my books!
