#WritersCoffeeClub Dec 19 - Do any of your stories occur in winter? What do you take from the season?
I write SF/F: most of my stories are either in exotic locations (other planets, other *types* of planet), on locally—in the UK.
Winter in the UK is basically rainy and dark. Good for vampires (only 7 hours of daylight to avoid in midwinter!), not so much for everyone else. But it's inconvenient, rather than snowdrifts and howling blizzards.
