This is a view of Lighthouse and Capitol Peak I pulled from the Internet. It’s located in Palo Duro Canyon in the panhandle of Texas. It’s the second largest canyon in the U.S. and is the setting for the opening of the next story I’m working on.

I’m doing a lot of research right now. Geography, geology, flora, fauna, yada, yada.

What I’m stumbling over right now is getting the “bouldering” and rock climbing techniques down. Not that I have to use a lot of it. Just enough to make the heroine sound authentic. If anyone has any experience out there, I’d love some tips.

Research aside, I’ve already started on the story. Here’s hoping it’s as sexy and fun as it is in my head!
