My personal connection to the Isle of Man is very meaningful. In centuries past, my own ancestors conquered the island. When curiosity drew me there, the island took its revenge by conquering my heart. Since then, I've returned many times, in many seasons. This photograph was taken at Maughold Lighthouse in late spring, when the gorse was in vibrant bloom, and the wind so strong it nearly blew me off the cliff!
The Isle of Man, 32 miles long and 13 miles at its widest point, lies in the Irish Sea. It was a strategically valuable possession to the indigenous Celtic peoples, to their Scots and Irish cousins, and to later conquerors—Norse raiders and English noblemen who declared themselves Lord of Man. It remains an independent territory of Great Britain, governed by its own separate Parliament, called Tynwald. It has its own currency. When she ascended the throne, Queen Elizabeth II became "Lord of Man." I invite you to take a tour of my favorite spots on the island and to view actual settings for The Seducer and Kissing A Stranger. You can also click the map to start your trip.
This photograph of Glen Cornaa (pronounced Cor-nay) is used as the background for The Seducer's cover scene.
