What's Up With Diners? / Happenings In The Outhouse 07-March-2025

When I reflect back on a number of my latest stories, many are set in diners.  Mostly roadside diners AKA greasy spoons.

Truth be told, I have never, ever worked in a diner.  Not even in the food industry.  However, I am fascinated by it and watch many shows about the food industry.  Many by Gordon Ramsey.  The Food Network is my jam.

I honestly don't know what my draw is to diners.  Or even restaurants in general.  I have zero desire to own one, to work in one, but I certainly write about them.

My latest novel is a cozy mystery set in a roadside diner.  I'm nearing the 30,000-word mark.  I'm hoping to have it completed by the end of this month.

When you look back at the books you read--or, to the authors, to the books you write--is there a common setting or theme?
