Goodreads asked Morwen Navarre:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Morwen Navarre This is probably the most loaded question imaginable. Let's see. I have two different projects in the works, and one was the byproduct of my fascination with a certain period of history, the latter days of the Roman Empire as seen from the standpoint of a far-flung colonial region.

The second one was born as a response to a three-word prompt: cabriolet, cancriform, and carnifex. The challenge was to write a short piece (Twitfic/drabble/flashfic) using one, two, or all three words. I'm always up for a good challenge, and I used all three words in a flashfic. The resulting world hasn't gone away, and I'm fleshing it out now so I can do it proper justice.

Then there's a draft languishing that needs major revision, a foray into science fiction that might be quite good fun once I trim it and tidy it up. I'm putting that on the list after the two I'm working on now, although I may drag it out when I'm in need of a quick change of pace.
