Mapping Strange Luck

Did you know that all of the places described in Strange Luck are based on real-life places in California? It's true. I'm a California native and the fictitious town of Sea Salt is actually based on some of my favorite places in CA - Half Moon Bay, Loma Mar,  La Honda, and Pescadero.

Explore these real-life places by clicking this interactive map. You'll also get to read fun excerpts from the book about each location. Enjoy!

Visiting Real Book Locations

I recently discovered a super cool app ~ Squirl. The app bridges the gap between books and the real world. The places you pass by become portals into the stories unfolding right where you are standing. What exactly does this mean? The app pinpoints actual places in a book so you can go and visit them. How cool is that???

                                        

As soon as I watched the above video I signed up and input the coordinates for Strange Luck. I also included excerpts from the book that describe the locations. If you venture out that way, I'd love to hear from you. Enjoy!
