If you analyze the distances mentioned in my mysteries to known locations in southwestern Wisconsin, you’ll find the village Oak Cliff is situated somewhere near the town of Mazomanie, WI (population 1,800). It was during a visit to this quaint village years ago, that I found the inspiration for the first story and location.
The one real place that will mislead you in your quest to locate Oak Cliff is the location of the Wisconsin River. I took literary license when I moved it to just the south of the village.
The background images on several of this website’s pages are photographs of Mazomanie with a little creative photoshop editing.
