I like to create fictious places in my stories and most of
my writing. I don’t really know how it
came to be, but it’s been like that ever since I can remember. I just made up cities and states, along with
flags, seals, birds, flowers, and the like.
So, when I started writing novels, I began setting them in the cities
and states I had been creating in my head.
The cities and states all have back stories to them.
The city from my novel is Collier City, Maddocha. Maddocha is a fictious state I created when I
first started designing websites. It was
the home state of a character I created.
The state is name after my family and a phrase we say in the African-American
community… “I ain’t mad at cha!”
The other stories I wrote were in cities that were in the
central or middle part of Maddocha. When
this story came to my mind, I decided I wanted to use a city from a different
part of the state of Maddocha. Collier
City is in the upper most left-hand corner of Maddocha.
Here’s some stats about Maddocha…
