So, Kingston with a side of Woodstock. Also very interesting to me that you like the pop/lit + angle since I know you're capable of straight-up hardboiled... Thanks JvK!
The sharp contrast between the two towns is ripe with literary possibilities... Especially if one subverts their stereotypic cultural assignations. And I only know this because of you ;)
1) I'd be interested in stories set in any of the towns around here, your grasp of history and nuance is invaluable in bringing to life times gone. Not being a native, I'd welcome any work that gave me more fine-tuned and specific insights about Kingston, Woodstock, Saugerties, Hurley, you name it. Don't shy away from seemingly arcane and obscure details - one of the beatiuful things about literature is that he more specific the work, the more universal it is. The specific nature of the emnity between people in certain towns is endlessly fascinating to me.
Thanks D! K-76 is most definitely in K-town, these questions are regarding a brand-new novel that I'm working on, will be contemporary, am wondering if readers are craving more Kingston or something different :-)

For sure, you've suddenly got me thinking about Orpheus crossing into Hades--but I don't know which town is which!

Thanks J, good stuff!
The B side all the way down.
Check, check, check, thanks A!
1. "IPM" plants the tory in Kingston, doesn't it? The stream reminds me of Woodstock, but the green apartment building sounds more like Kton.
2. b--I notice most of the comments ppl make have to do with your cultural references from the time.

Thanks RGP! Do you mean either Kingston or Woodstock would be fine or that you'd like to see a story spanning both places?
I’d like to see it span both places; I think it would allow for a bigger variety of situations and personalities.
Great idea, thanks!
Awesome, I will surprise you!
That is also a consideration! :-) Thanks C!
