Sorry, this is not an aspirational post. It’s about buildings that inspired me when I wrote Kill Dash Nine, my latest Mystery. Looking back through my digital albums, I didn’t have as many pictures as I thought I did. So this post might get an upgrade later on. In the meantime enjoy looking at a few iconic buidlings in Boise that have inspired me or are actual locations featured in the novel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joshua Jones’s apartment building. He’s actually on the floor at the roof line of the building in the foreground. Right near the top of the garage. I myself am terrified of hieghts, so I would never live there. But the views downtown would be spectacular. The actual building is the Aspen Lofts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the apartment complex that Dancia lives in. I think she’s on the third floor. I don’t recall what the actual building is called, but I liked the look and it’s on the North side of town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve mentioned this one in a previous post. This is the stone house that inspired the arcade – Mashers. If you dig into the history of this house, how it used to be on the opposing corner and was owned by a church, you can see why I chose it. Also, it’s just so darn cool looking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is of course, Freak Alley where a character is killed early in the book. It’s become quite the tourist attraction lately, so having a grisly murder take place there, seemed appropriate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well that’s all for now. I’ll get out and about town this fall and get some more building shots. Much of Kill Dash Nine takes place in downtown Boise, Idaho.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
