She has a large bookshelf filled with Westerns including Louis Lamour. Margaret has researched magazines like True West, New Mexico Magazine, and others. In 2003 she took a vacation to Albuquerque, New Mexico, which gave her a better sense of Western geography. Blood and Shadow is based on a fictionalized area very close to that historic area.
