How To Describe Nature In Your Stories
"In March the running water of the valley is bitter, acid cold, as snow on the fells begins to melt and is brought down over chilled rocks and icy beds. It has in it all the breaking soul of winter, thousands of dying flakes in one long, moving water-coffin."

That's one blazing passage from Sarah Hall's most recent novel, Haweswater--a meditation on the earth-shaking changes in a poor farming village in England. Tomorrow night, she's reading at the KGB Bar in New York, teaching us how she creates these stunning settings.

If you're in the city, you should check it out. The flyer follows after the jump. If you can't, never fear, I'm going to put together some highlights and author interviews for the series--making up for my slacking in the
Five Easy Questions department...
