Across my various fantasy stories, people mostly walk or ride horses. The MCs of Prophecies, though, also travel by magical carriage, pirate ship, and gargantuan moth. Oh, and by falling through the bottom of a floating island.

Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters
What methods of transportation do your characters usually use to get around?
Horses, ships (water, space, air), cars, walking, other?
Does transportation ever cause your characters difficulty?

I would love for people to talk about the complicated themes of personal development and self-actualization that my stories bring up, as well as the social issues like racism, power structures, and violence.
And I hope they go ooh-aah over the porny one.

What kind of conversations will your book inspire? I hope when I finally get my latest WIP out there that people will look at Sicilian culture as it is, not how it’s presented in movies #writingq #WritingCommunity

My Prophecies duology is full of random details that I added mostly for a chuckle, like the tumbleweed elemental or the "portmanticores" (scorpiowls, buffalosprey, etc.). I worked in lots of references to ancient mythology, folklore, and pop culture, and even names of authors I like, as Easter eggs.
#NovemberWorldbuilders friends! We're at the end of the month so you know what that means: broad questions with no particular theme! Tell me about something you put into your world for no reason other than that it brought you joy. Did you learn about something cool and want to add it? Talk about it!

I'm eating spaghettified spaghetti squash loaded up with oregano, tomato, feta cheese, and sautéed chicken. It's a pretty easy meal to make, and with only a few ingredients, and it's delicious.
