Alexandra asked Peter Vik:

With your writing and your "day job," do you find you have a lot of overlap in your thought life? How?

Peter Vik I think I understand your question. I do find overlap. What I mean is that I constantly find myself thinking about my story and my characters. I find a lot of inspiration from real life. I think this is an important thing about writing fantasy fiction. Though you are creating your own world, inspirations from everyday life give it a feel of authenticity. My characters are not based on real people per se, but on different aspects of real people I know or have known. Many of these interactions have come through my work. Thanks so much for the question.
