Background to the first story
My science fiction romance novel The Lady is Blue (book 1 in this boxset) is set on the distant planet of
Eden in a small town, which mingles aspects of places I've lived - Yale University, USA, and Oxford
University, UK.
The Science Center housing the
heroine's lab is a recreation of the Kline Biology Tower at Yale
University.
Its 12th floor cafeteria is the site of several scenes, including
an attempt to kill the heroine. The real cafeteria was popular among both science
faculty and students for lunch and informal discussions. No scaly aliens have
dined in the cafe to my knowledge, although I once met a famous ballet dancer
who had been smuggled in under the assumed name of Mr. Brown to see real
research laboratories. By Grue [GFDL (http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html) |
The characters walk in a park with a bridge over the river - transformed from Oxford
University Parks.
Dragon Lady Boxset has the bargain price of $2.99 for Aug 31- Sept 5
