That moment when one of my characters becomes a person. All of a sudden I know how he will react when I throw something at him or what she will or won't say in a stressful conversation or what it will do to that person's soul when I force him to do the last thing he would ever do. Sometimes it's early on in the writing process. Valen in Flesh and Spirit was whole when I wrote the first page. Sometimes it comes later. The Aleksander I wrote when I began Transformation didn't take shape until a few chapters into the book and then I realized that some of his actions did not fit the man I was writing about. A few adjustments in the story and I felt like I had him.

Is there any chance of you ever writing another book (or another series) in the same world as the Collegia Magica or Rai-Kirah books? The Sanctuary Duet was absolutely phenomenal, every bit as good as the Lighthouse Duet, and returning to the rich worlds of Seyonne and Portier could not help but bring forth stories perhaps even more brilliant as the first two trilogies.
