We usually visit the Blue Ridge Mountains in north Georgia in the fall. It\u2019s absolutely beautiful, with the leaves changing colors, a chill in the air and the fun of visiting the unique small towns located around gorgeous forests.<\/p>\n<p>I also love to hike. Each time we go, I find a new trail to explore. I include favorite trails that I must revisit whenever we\u2019re there. It\u2019s a place that speaks to my soul, so what better way to create a fictional town in my Golden, Georgia series than to draw from the actual location.<\/p>\n<p>Golden is actually a mix of two of my favorite towns. Once I decided to set my stories there, the little town instantly formed in my head. As I write additional books, I discover new businesses, character homes or locations to explore in the surrounding areas. It allows me to feel like I\u2019m really there in the mountain region, one of the perks of having an active imagination.<\/p>\n<p>Sit back while I show off a few of my favorite sites.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/readingismysuperpower.org\/2025\/06\/07\/guest-post-and-a-giveaway-tara-randel-the-surprise-next-door\/?tp_image_id=72347\" data-pin-title=\"Guest Post (and a Giveaway!): Tara Randel &amp; The Surprise Next Door\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-72347 lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/readingismysuperpower.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/randel-Picture1-300x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"400\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/readingismysuperpower.org\/2025\/06\/07\/guest-post-and-a-giveaway-tara-randel-the-surprise-next-door\/?tp_image_id=72347\" data-pin-title=\"Guest Post (and a Giveaway!): Tara Randel &amp; The Surprise Next Door\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-72347 lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/readingismysuperpower.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/randel-Picture1-300x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/readingismysuperpower.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/randel-Picture1-300x400.jpg 300w, https:\/\/readingismysuperpower.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/randel-Picture1-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/readingismysuperpower.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/randel-Picture1.jpg 403w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Anna Ruby Falls located outside of Helen, Georgia.
