William Fletcher, Vicky’s muse, hails from the medieval village of Rye in East Sussex, which is located on the south coast of England, about an hour or so from where I lived in Kent. It’s a little hilltop village and very picturesque. It’s just about my favorite place in England and I go there whenever I return to England. Because it was a favorite place for artists and writers I decided it would be a perfect hometown for Will, a writer himself. Here are some photos of Rye, from my last visit. I’ve also included a fun video from a popular British ghost hunting show called Most Haunted, from when they visited the very haunted Mermaid Inn. I’ve had many a pint of beer there but I can’t say I’ve ever seen a ghost, although I’ve heard stories from people who have.
