Not all; but I set many of my books in Dublin because I am very familiar with the place and I know the nuances and lights and shade of the city
It’s just like any other city really with all the hopes and dreams and adventures in everyone’s minds and hearts. And no matter where you are – Tokyo, New York, Dublin, the Hague – there will always be those who are leaving their doors in the morning without knowing what the day will bring – love, deception, disillusion, hope.
We are all much more alike than we are different as my mailbag will tell you and I think setting my books where I am familiar is wise for me.
