Today James Scott Bell has an excellent post about writing an enduring character in a Christian fiction genre, prairie romance.

His thought process on the setting and character, and how he put a new spin on both (and wrote a bestseller) is extremely interesting.

"So I came up with this concept: a young woman comes to turn-of-the-century Los Angeles with a determination to practice law. It was a perfect historical moment, rife with conflict, because at that time women were barely getting into the legal profession. There was a lot of male resistance to the idea. And Los Angeles in 1903 had all sorts of fascinating cross currents. It was moving from western boomlet toward urban adolescence. There was high society and low criminality. It was then (and still is) a city for dreamers and charlatans alike."
