assistant d.a. (maybe?) moves to home after living in the big-bad city for a decade or so. kind of a prodigal daughter returns thing.
but why did she ever leave?
maybe she needed freedom, success, a change of pace. or maybe she was running away from something.
but hey, she's put enough people behind bars to [maybe] make up for some of her past mistakes. and she'd love nothing more than to heal some old wounds (maybe bury them), return to where she's no longer a stranger among millions of strangers, and start the small business she's always dreamed of.
but what if that something she ran from came back with her? what if that something never even left?
*****************
i figure i know enough about small towns to write one. and i know a few future d.a.'s for research purposes. and i know my fair share of law, if i do say so myself.
i'm undecided on whether it's going to be a heroine or hero yet though. i mean, obviously there's going to be a counterpart (we all know how much i love romance...be it fantasy, paranormal, mystery or thriller, it's always romantic), i just don't know if the...foundation?...character is a male or female.
and we all know that if it ever gets written it's going to be part of a set. i can't do single titles.
now i just need some time to write...
we'll see what comes of it.

oh, and just for fun, this is the small town i grew up in:
this is honomu. and i can actually see my rooftop in this image! in fact, i can identify who owns a lot of those houses..... lol. do you see that gulch near the bottom/right side of the picture? follow that road leading out of the gulch, passed the first intersection it makes with another road. right after that intersection, on the left, the first house has a red roof (it's on the corner). mine is the smaller white roof next to it (across the street from a large white roof and a large red roof).
and this is our "general store" on the main street of town. this store, ishigo's, is actually right across the street from the house i grew up in and still call home (ishigo's would be the large white roof across the street in the above pic)! right next to ishigo's (not of the red roof) is the "glass from the past" antique glass store, where i had one of my first jobs!
