Hi Seren,

I start with reality and then take steps beyond reality as I write. The number of steps I take depends on the genre. If I'm writing urban fantasy, it might just be a few changes I make but if I'm writing science fiction, it could be many steps I take turning reality in something more. (less)

Take a look at my second novel Moonwarriors: Guardians of the Night. Come by and we'll chat, leave a comment.

Until Next Time . . .
