This story could actually take place anywhere because human nature really is the same all over. I set the story in the Southeastern USA since I have lived here for over one-fourth of my life. That gives the book a southern flavor, and I am not speaking only about the mustard-based barbecue! Actually, that is my favorite, although I do not turn any of it down.
Where I am from (Pennsylvania), barbecue is a verb. It really means grill. In the South, it is a noun and refers to another process altogether.
Incidentally, the German colonists added mustard to barbecue. I am very glad that they did!
The Botleys of Beaumont County will be out later this month on Blurb!
