It's fiction! Yes, you can make up anything you want (within reason - don't slander anyone or any location). My books take place in Chicago, and I do like to use real Chicago neighborhoods, streets, and landmarks in my books to add to the realism. I love to research local restaurants and use them in my books. But I never hesitate to create a fictional location in my books as needed. Have fun with it!

I always preface my novels by saying that this is a work of fiction and all locations and people are figments of my imagination.
