For example, George Martin said SOFAI started with an image of six direwolf pups in the snow. Great by itself...for a short story. It kind of grew out from there :D

One aspect of New Praetorian's lead character, Sienna McKnight, is her struggle as a woman of high rank in a male-dominated military. One real life story I came across during research was particularly insightful. Once there was an Egyptian general who refused to speak with his U.S. counterpart because that decorated Army Lt. Colonel was merely a female. You can guess how that engagement worked out.(less)
