Why, Princess Leia and Han Solo of course!

My characters come both from my real life, and from deep in my imagination. some of them are obviously inspired by real people, but I often combine and reshape them, and sometimes the characters are different versions of me, or at least I use myself as a base to make them. The human personality is pretty flexible, so I just imagine myself as a starship captain, or a superhero, or a child, or a female character. Seems to work so far! Thanks for asking! :)

Hmmm, sometimes I force writing out, good or not, and sometimes I wait until it passes. I don't have much of a problem with writer's block so much anymore...

I am currently working on Book Three of the "To Brave the Crumbling Sky" series.

I mostly listen to music or go over my outlines. That helps.

I don't quite remember the inspiration for "To Brave the Crumbling Sky", but I wrote the first page as a piece of short short fiction, and left it as it was for a couple years. But it always sort of haunted me. One day I was talking to my co-author Gregg, and we decided to come up with a story for it on a whim. And it just exploded into what it is now!
