valarltdI had 7 entries for the photo scavenger hunt.

flchen1, let me know whether you'd like a copy of Flipped Fables or Taboo Treats.
The Answers:
1)
This train, and the Phantasmagoria carnival it pulls, is home to Torturo the Pain King and his lover Nick, the Outside Talker. Their novel may be stalled, but name one of the short stories they appeared in.
"His Wicked Way" in Toybox:Piercing or
"Valentine Roses" in Toybox: Sounds
(Alive on the Inside is in heavy rewrites)
2)
The big cross is found outside of Effingham, Illinois. Much of the action of this Arcana story takes place at the Effingham, TA, and it's all set up by CB radio.
"Five Time Loser: The Five of Pentacles"
3)
These desert dwellings look much like the ones on Flistik, home of a dancing slave so beautiful he can tempt a spacer with an honest streak a parsec wide.
"For Love of Etarin"
4)
These good folks are from the Dragon*Con parade. Two of my stories are set at science fiction conventions and involve cosplayers. Name one.
"Imperial Entanglements" in Men in Uniform or
"Captain's Orders" in Men in Uniform II
5)
A gameboard map of Arkham Massachussets. Actually, with the Esoteric Order of Dagon Hall, I suspect it's Innsmouth. But no matter. One of the Mistletoe series is set in Arkham, against the backdrop of a world-ending ceremony and a full moon.
"Miskatonic Mistletoe"
6)
This is a sloop, much like the Golden Horizon. What novel takes place mainly on shipbord?
Kestrel on the Horizon
(Sorry, "Talk like a Pirate Day" is a short story and it's mostly on land)
7)
Which Arcana story takes place at the Scholomance, a very special school deep in Eastern Europe?
"Tuition Fees: The Devil"
8)
The railroad trestle that tells you are now entering Cooper-Young, the gay district of Memphis. The Labyrinth is behind the First Congregationalist Church. In one story, the first Mistletoe sequel, Cian O'Brian walks the Labyrinth after he and Corin move into the district.
"Singing up the Moon" in Shifting Again
9)
Greasy Corner, Arkansas, complete with tumbledown gas station where Johnny Cotton spent one October night, and met a most unusual pair. What's the title?
"Crossroads"
(if you look at the picture, you can see the numbers on the trailer I'm pulling)
10)
The first is the Ambassador's mansion. The second is his base of operations. When Nick Boyd and the Revenants burgled the first, Nick never expected to be living in the penthouse of the second. What book chronicles this transition?
Nikolai
