It may not be the main point, but it should help the reader slide into the story world seamlessly. If the setting is a real place, named as such in the story, it may make you want to visit, or if you live there, it may spark familiarity in your mind. When I\u2019m reading a story, the setting helps put me there, in the story. It can ignite my imagination, and it can make the characters more three-dimensional. In the same way, when I\u2019m writing a book, the setting helps me plot the story, diagram the action, and work with the characters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most of my early books were set in Long Beach, California. I lived and worked in Long Beach for over 22 years, so I wrote what I knew. I did make up a different name for the city, but it was always Long Beach in my mind\u2019s eye, the streets I patrolled, the places etched in my mind because of the crime or call set there. My knowledge brings realism to the stories, and I love it when readers contact me and say, \u2018I live there, I know that place!\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve moved around a lot since I retired from law enforcement. Living in Oregan for five years spawned ideas for stories set there. For my In the Line of Duty trilogy, I made up my own town, set on the Rogue River, near Shady Cove. I even had a talented friend draw a picture of my fictional town of Rogue\u2019s Hollow. The drawing was incorporated in all three novels. Sprinkling in real Southern Oregon towns helped make the stories and the setting come alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, living in Hawaii, the settings that surround me are very different than what I grew up with, or what I saw where I lived and worked. It\u2019s not a concrete jungle, nor is it fields and farms. Here, on the Big Island, I am far removed from the streets of Long Beach or the forests of Southern Oregon. I\u2019m fortunate to be close to some beautiful beaches, and I swim a lot. The beach is a setting that tickles my imagination, and it was the beach that spawned the plot for <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tyndale.com\/p\/edge-of-truth\/9781496487971?utm_source=janicecantore26&amp;utm_medium=edgeoftruth&amp;utm_campaign=C4F_Blog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Edge of Truth<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I pay attention to news about sharks and attacks. A poorly written news article about a fatal shark attack at a beach on Maui intrigued me and set the gears of my mind spinning. A woman and her husband were snorkeling, when she suddenly disappeared. Basically, the husband saw a shark, then didn\u2019t see his wife, then he came ashore, and she was never found. Sounds, hinky, right? Even two of my swim buddies thought it sounded as though there was foul play involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I immediately thought that the husband was the bad guy, and he was not telling the truth. Standing on the beach where I swim, looking at the water I swim in, and yes, I have seen sharks there, a million \u2018what if\u2019 questions were spawned by the setting, and <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tyndale.com\/p\/edge-of-truth\/9781496487971?utm_source=janicecantore26&amp;utm_medium=edgeoftruth&amp;utm_campaign=C4F_Blog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Edge of Truth<\/a><\/em> was born.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tyndale.com\/p\/edge-of-truth\/9781496487971?utm_source=janicecantore26&amp;utm_medium=edgeoftruth&amp;utm_campaign=C4F_Blog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Edge of Truth<\/a><\/em>&nbsp;is partially set at Anaeho\u2019omalu Bay, or, A-Bay. It\u2019s a beautiful bay, with great snorkeling and a nice beach. We often see many colorful fish, and sometimes turtles and manta rays. Aside from the drama of the shark attack, I wanted to give the reader a word picture for a little bit of paradise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The shark attack allowed a plot twist that I hope surprises readers. A large part of the book takes place on the island, I tried to take readers to the places I go to on a regular basis, where I live, where I swim. I hope the setting resonates with readers, that it puts them comfortably in the story world and makes <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tyndale.com\/p\/edge-of-truth\/9781496487971?utm_source=janicecantore26&amp;utm_medium=edgeoftruth&amp;utm_campaign=C4F_Blog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Edge of Truth<\/a><\/em> real and engaging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.tyndale.com\/crazy4fiction\/west-coast-reads-to-captivate-you\/?utm_source=janicecantore26&amp;utm_medium=westcoastnovels&amp;utm_campaign=C4F_Blog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"390\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.tyndale.com\/crazy4fiction\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/01\/Janice-Cantore-CTA-1024x390.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14174\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.tyndale.com\/crazy4fiction\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/01\/Janice-Cantore-CTA-1024x390.png 1024w, https:\/\/sites.tyndale.com\/crazy4fiction\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/01\/Janice-Cantore-CTA-300x114.png 300w, https:\/\/sites.tyndale.com\/crazy4fiction\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/01\/Janice-Cantore-CTA-768x293.png 768w, https:\/\/sites.tyndale.com\/crazy4fiction\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/01\/Janice-Cantore-CTA-1536x585.png 1536w, https:\/\/sites.tyndale.com\/crazy4fiction\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/01\/Janice-Cantore-CTA.png 1640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-medium is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tyndale.com\/p\/edge-of-truth\/9781496487971?utm_source=janicecantore26&amp;utm_medium=edgeoftruth&amp;utm_campaign=C4F_Blog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.tyndale.com\/crazy4fiction\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/12\/978-1-4964-8797-1-1-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13968\" width=\"150\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.tyndale.com\/crazy4fiction\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/12\/978-1-4964-8797-1-1-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/sites.tyndale.com\/crazy4fiction\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/12\/978-1-4964-8797-1-1-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/sites.tyndale.com\/crazy4fiction\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/12\/978-1-4964-8797-1-1-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sites.tyndale.com\/crazy4fiction\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/12\/978-1-4964-8797-1-1-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sites.tyndale.com\/crazy4fiction\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/12\/978-1-4964-8797-1-1-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/sites.tyndale.com\/crazy4fiction\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/12\/978-1-4964-8797-1-1.jpg 1650w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h4><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tyndale.com\/p\/edge-of-truth\/9781496487971?utm_source=janicecantore26&amp;utm_medium=edgeoftruth&amp;utm_campaign=C4F_Blog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Edge of Truth<\/a><\/em> by Janice Cantore<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>As a detective in the Long Beach Police Department\u2019s violent crimes division, Lainie Jensen is no stranger to hard-to-crack cases and unusual disappearances, but then her sister Evie vanishes on a trip to Hawaii. After traveling there to look for her, Lainie quickly realizes her brother-in-law Stan is telling law enforcement a story that doesn\u2019t appear to add up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>FBI special agent Ben Isaacs has spent six months collecting evidence to take down a money laundering operation. While his fellow agent Efren Gomez goes undercover to infiltrate the ring, Ben investigates those connected to it, including Stan Moffitt, who Ben believes could help lead to the criminal kingpin. Then Stan\u2019s wife goes missing just days after Ben contacted her seeking information, and he knows there\u2019s more to this case, especially when he loses contact with Efren and law enforcement comes up short in their search for him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When Ben\u2019s and Lainie\u2019s investigations converge, Lainie\u2019s not eager to work alongside Ben given their complicated history, but she\u2019s willing to do so if it means figuring out what Stan knows and locating Evie. Soon, Lainie can\u2019t deny Ben\u2019s dedication to finding the truth or her growing admiration for him. And the more the two examine the evidence, the more they suspect Evie\u2019s disappearance is tied to a highly publicized criminal case from Lainie\u2019s past . . . and someone is playing a perilous game aimed at personal revenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.tyndale.com\/crazy4fiction\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/10\/Cantore_Janice.png\" alt=\"Janice Cantore\" class=\"wp-image-8429\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>A former Long Beach, California, police officer of twenty-two years, Janice Cantore worked a variety of assignments, including patrol, administration, juvenile investigations, and training.
