COMMUNITY TIES
An acquaintance once said to me he was a pillar of the community, but his children suffer because of his limited time with them. After all, parents are their children’s first role models. Yes, we can do great things, but let’s not lose sight of what’s really important—our families. It’s one of the reasons I love writing romance. In addition to the love interest, most of the books I write focus on the interrelationships of people in a community.
So, how do you become a part of a new community if you are alone, or without a family? Do you choose the location or does the community choose you? The heroine of my latest novel, Island of Deceit, has no intention of becoming a part of the community where she has temporarily settled. She’s there on a mission to exact revenge for her grandmother’s death. However, the people of Paradise Island quickly draw her in.
If you had a choice would you stay where you are or would you become a part of some other community? Do you think the “Mayberry” type of community still exists? Would you choose to live there if it did, or would you prefer the “Desperate Housewives” locale? I’d like to hear your thoughts.

Congratulations RobynL, you are the winner of a book by Candice Poarch. Please send your contact information to susan(at)writerspacemail(dot)com.
i live in a very rural area.
i live in a very rural area. Mayberry was full of gossips really so i don't know i'd want to live in a town like that but i think it's unavoidable wherever you go. lol Everyone knows everything pretty much. If you live in the city perhaps you get away from that some? Maybe not. No matter where you live you still have neighbors and they will talk. If they don't know the facts some probably just make some up.
I like in books where the author makes the town this wonderful supportive place. Certainly something to hope for in your own life.

I have never felt that a community has chosen me; I think that would be awesome as then one could feel totally at home, needed/wanted and like you belong.
I know Mayberry doesn't exist here where I live; it is very clicky here and if you weren't born here you don't really belong.
