  "Penton was such a great town that I would love to experience. Small town where everyone knows everyone always wanted to live somewhere like that"

  "My favorite fictional town is Jennifer Estep's Ashland. There's been plenty of mayhem, but not too much destruction of the actual town."

  "That is fun, Sandy. I sure have fun tearing up New Orleans in the Sentinels books! Penton is a real place, just muuuch smaller and, as far as I know, has no vampires."

  "Thanks, Miki! Penton is SORT OF a real place. There is a Penton, Alabama, in Chambers County; it's just so small that I combined it with the slightly larger town a mile away, LaFayette. Definitely no cotton mill or vampires, though!"

  "Thanks, Erin! Yes, I like that town too (its name has escaped me now), although Bran kind of creeps me out sometimes. I'd rather deal with Charles!"

  "I grew up in that kind of town, Lorrie--had a population of about 2,000 and I was related to 3/4 of them :-). At the time, I couldn't wait to escape, but now I realize it was a great place to grow up."

  "Ah, sadly, Linda, it has indeed been damaged--and that's before DJ got her hands on it. It seems to have rebounded from Katrina until you get out into some of the neighborhoods where there are big vacant lots full of weeds where there used to be houses. Or foundations where houses used to be."

  "My favorite fictional town is actually real, but certainly fictionalized. (Hope that makes sense. NYC has certainly been damaged time & again. It's exciting to read."

  "Neverland is the coolest island possible. First off, this is where fairies live, these fairies sprinkle a magic dust which allows you to fly. There are pirates, mermaids and the best is that it's never been damaged.
