Thanks David for such an in depth answer to my original question. I do wonder whether other Authors are so thorough as I often feel the emotion of a moment is missed due to lack of detail in the location, therefore the 'Reader' doesn't feel able to place himself within the story.
The only other question I have and this is really to other Readers and that is.... do you use the photos David posts on the site as a 'visual' whilst reading a Novel or would you rather just go with the Author's description and picture the location in your own imagination ?
Thanks again
Geoff
