The Viaduct of Love... ...and other places to visit in the world of Hiding Behind The Couch Back in 2007, when I first started writing Hiding Behind The Couch , I made some decisions: 1. Not to base the characters on people I knew. 2. Tell the story that needed to be told without forcing the narrative. These two goals continue to guide the storytelling in the series, but there is a real-world inspiration for where the stories happen. I grew up (and still live) in the North-West of England, and it's a beautiful place. I won't bother describing it here - I do it often enough in my books (also, see below), because those places the characters take you to are 'kind of' real locations. In Chain of Secrets ( Love Unlocked anthology - Feb 14th, 2016), Josh and George often treat you to a cycling trip along the canal - that's the Leeds to Liverpool Canal.
