I want to write some rural fantasy, and I hope to use this Iowa book to do that too. A core cast of characters are trolls of Scandinavian descent who have settled in farming communities around Cedar Falls that watch the thin part between faerie and our world.
And you know, I like being from rural roots, because I can write authentically about dust storms on gravel roads, summer swimming lessons, and rhubarb pie. Which are things that trolls growing up in small town Iowa need to know. :)
I'm convinced that Iowa City, Cedar Rapids, and Cedar Falls are full of fae, both from around and not from around here. :D
