Most recent in the series is On the Loose in New Orleans and Boston.com interviewed Sage about the book:
Where in New Orleans do you take us, and what animals do you use?
There’s elephants eating all the beignets. I did one scene that was in the bayou just to have a different landscape, even though it’s not right in the city. And then Jackson Square. I did it in the Presbytere where they have exhibits of the Mardi Gras outfits upstairs. And of course Bourbon Street. Sometimes I hide people that I know. I put my stepmom in there, and the ghost of my dad is hiding, looking out a window. I did Louis Armstrong Park since it’s the birthplace of jazz.
