Muse Food – Love Vans And Time As A Setting

By Cynthia Sax on June 29, 2026

The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I spotted this van while trekking around South American and we both immediately thought of the 1960s, the hippie era, a time when some young people embraced peace and love and unity.

Time can be a powerful setting.

It can influence language and fashion and thinking, whether the heroine is viewed as a rebel, for example, or the average girl.

Certain colors and images on covers, for example, can convey a time period like the rocket shaped spaceships on the 1970s SciFi Romances or the high waist gowns on Regency Romances.

What time is your story set in? How does that factor into your plot?
