Remember a few years ago, I took my debut novel, A Shadow in the Past<\/strong><\/span><\/em>, to Scotland and photographed it in various locations?

Searching for Serenity!<\/span><\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

Are you ready to play?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"searching<\/p>\n

Here’s a good look at the cover because, in some of the photos, it’s a bit small to get a proper perspective on the area.<\/p>\n

Dufferin Terrace is a beautiful boardwalk between the Hotel Ch\u00e2teau Frontenac and the St. Lawrence River. The Lower Town portion of Vieux-Qu\u00e9bec is below.<\/p>\n

If you continue away from the hotel towards La Citadelle, you walk along what is known as Promenade des Gouvernours. In this direction, you’ll climb far more stairs than if you start at the Plains of Abraham on the other side of the fortress. I’ve walked it in both directions, and much prefer starting at the battlefield.<\/p>\n

\"searching<\/p>\n

Here she is. Do you know where?\u00a0 Leave your answer in the comments. I’ll keep track, and at the end, someone will be named the winner.<\/p>\n

Good luck. On your mark, get set, guess!<\/p>\n
