I wanted to research some places that I used in my next novel, <strong>Bittersweet Memories<\/strong>. I used a tourist book about Maryland and Virginia to get the information about the places I&#8217;d used, also, I found information about the places on the internet. I also called the restaurants while I was writing the book if I had specific questions. I&#8217;d meant to visit Annapolis sooner, while I was writing the book, however, I didn&#8217;t have time! Now that I&#8217;ve visited, I&#8217;ve seen that my descriptions were pretty accurate.
