Page Lambert and Gail Storey talk characters, setting, and a sense of place, for fiction and nonfiction writers.

Lambert, recipient of the 2009 Orlando Nonfiction Award, has been leading creative outdoor adventures for thirteen years, has authored a memoir and novel, and has contributed essays to several prominent collections.
