Woohoo! That is one gorgeous picture! My husband's family is from Colorado, so I've been a couple of times. It's really pretty.

Phew! If I ever take up writing murders, it looks like that's the perfect setting!

The Bag Lady- "bum hug the chair"... what a unique visual! My imagination is too literal- I was picturing the bum spreading out to wrap around the seat going "I wuv oo!". :)

I've been to the springs many times and I hunt Elk not far from there. I also have a good friend who writes and currently lives there.

Great post, I love the bridge picture! And, best of all, I have another author to add to my list.

I'm looking forward to Beth's second book, hoping to read more about the setting. (hint, hint!) I pictured the locations and imagined being there - it's a place that inspires the inner writer in me!

The whole region around Colorado Springs is amazing. My hubby and I have traveled there with our family for cousins' weddings and the like. I fell in total love with the scenery. Our son almost ended up living up in the high peaks area of Colorado, but ended up in Oshkosh again.

Sorry I read too fast and blew the fate of the climber. Wonder if Leah and the Bag Lady's reactions to the bridge would make that a crime scene candidate in one of Beth's upcoming sequels???

And, going to Colorado tourism sites will bring you lots more visions of the spectacular Rockies. I remember one Native's story where the mountain range was referred to as "The Bad Boys." They certainly are SERIOUS mountains.

Great hearing from all of you!

beautiful photos!!!!! I do not think I would be able to cross that bridge, though. And now I have another book for my TBR list--thanks!

Beth-

I think that's the only thing that would wake me during a massage : )

This is a state I've never set foot in and want to. Thanks for reminding me.

Hi Nan,
Thanks for your kinds words about A REAL BASKET CASE, and your descriptions of the area are stunning. Are you sure you haven't visited here before? :)

One small correction I have to your writeup is that the climber in the Garden of the Gods didn't fall to his death (though we usually get 1-2 reckless folks who do each summer). He just ALMOST died. He was using proper equipment and was roped to two friends, who rescued him, so this scene was a little lesson in safe climbing, too.

The REAL mystery in A REAL BASKET CASE kicks off when basket-designer Claire Hanover's massage therapist is shot dead while giving her a massage and literally falls in her lap. How's that for making a death personal?

I loved spending time with you, Nan, a fellow Agatha Award nominee, at the Malice Domestic conference.

Great description and beautiful photos, Nan. I just wanted to add that Beth herself is as friendly, smart, and helpful (and tall!) as the Rockies are gorgeous.

Nan,

Breath taking! I am going to have to get a hold of Beth's book for a bigger fix of the setting.

Lyzzy,

I was the Red Red Wine visitor! (There are a whole bunch of us here at Women of Mystery) I love your taste in music and am glad you have it on the site, so "too bad" to the cranky ones who are annoyed by it.

Also, re: the verification, I have lots of trouble with it on other sites, but it is necessary. A friend recently told me that they had thousands of spam hits on their site before they (reluctantly) put up a filter.

This was an enchanting look at the Rockies! Thanks, Nan.
But I have to agree with Leah - that photo of the bridge made my bum hug my chair... oops, was that TMI?

Beautiful pics and descriptions of your own, Nan.

Lyzzydee- Blogger changes its style frequently in word verification as spammers find new ways to get around the check. If it's awful now, it'll change soon enough. We use the word verification (reappy human verification) at this blog to avoid getting the comments filled by spambot programs with links to potentially malicious software and penis creams.

Glorious place, but that bridge is terrifying.

forgot to add, I love Red Red Wine and while a lot of people find the music thing annoying, I love it and often have it playing in the background, and it mainly to amuse me so I am happy!!! Perhaps we are ladies of a certain 'era'?

2008-05-05T04:41:00.000-04:00

I have never been there, butyou mention lots of things that make me thing of he Rockies!!I may well search out that book and take a look. Its funny how we are all envious of places that others have, I would love to spend a holiday there!! Mind you I think you get an over romantic view of some of these places and once you have to actually live and work there the shine soon wears off!

PS Why does blogger need to get you to try and work out a 12 letter 'thingy' for the word verification? either my eyes are far worse than I thought or they are getting impossible to read!!
