Test Your Cold Lessons I.Q.
I'm not sure why everybody thinks that all the place names in Cold Lessons have real-life analogs--maybe something to do with the fact that the name on the cover of the book has a real-life analog. At any rate, Sue Toth has put together a quiz on the subject for her book club. I believe this is the first time that my work has been the subject of a quiz, and I'm deeply honored. With permission, I reprint the quiz below. (I'm not sure I could score 100% myself, but I'll do my best to grade any submissions.)
