It was a result of a Sith Alchemy experiment. I was setting him up to be the big antagonist and had a lot of fun making that species.AVDutsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06068169781166515350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8852474824982150984.post-89428157416594844692012-10-10T08:34:27.331-06:002012-10-10T08:34:27.331-06:00I've been thinking a lot about writing a fanta...I've been thinking a lot about writing a fantasy after I finish this spy book that's kicking my trash.

A lot of them ...My books are filled with creatures. A lot of them are things most people have heard of before, like shapeshifters. I really enjoyed giving them a different twist, a different set of magical skills, and a completely different origin story, though. For example, my werewolves don't bite people to pass on the ability, they are born that way.<br /><br />Taking something people are used to or familiar with and putting an entirely new spin on it is one of my favorite things in writing and in reading.Laura Hughes, MittensMorgulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934132671168843593noreply@blogger.com
