A question people often ask about a book is “where does the story take place?” In the case of the two novels in The Resistance, the answer is about as complicated as you might expect from an author who is also an anthropologist. 

Both stories start off in Dallas, Texas, and they keep coming back there, too. 

Jenda Swain’s story in Way of the Serpent takes her to San Miguel de Allende, Mexico; Buenos Aires, Argentina; and somewhere in Costa Rica. There are also trips to Houston and San Antonio a remote village in New Mexico. 

Malia Poole’s story in Shadow of the Hare spends a lot of time in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and Marfa, Texas, but she also travels to Lagos, Nigeria, and Jaipur in India’s Rajasthan. 

If you’re yearning to “get away” without getting on an airplane or on the Interstate, why not read a book that takes you there while you sit in your favorite chair sipping your favorite beverage?
