I was certain I
left the map at Fisherman’s Wharf—the intoxicating aroma of fresh fish and
chips distracting me. I thought I would remember the street names she had
labeled and headed out again into the city, only to drift deeper into an
entrapment of fog, brick, and night.

Did you know that all of the places described in
The Nightmare Birds 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 coastal towns. The entrance to the Theater of Secrets and the hotel Daisy stays in are also based on real places. There are a few other places in the story where the real names are listed like Fisherman's Wharf at Pier 39.

You can explore these places through this
interactive map. You'll also get to read excerpts from the book about each location. Enjoy!
