The Haven Chronicles is all about that collision between magic and future tech, so here’s a question for you.

If you could use magic to power a new invention from the depths of your imagination, what would you create?

If you discovered a door like the one in Hartley Keg’s kitchen that could take you anywhere, where would you go?

For me, it would probably be Venice or some of the world’s most beautiful libraries. What about you?

It’s the autumn equinox, time to take a moment and look back over the year. May the day bring you pause, balance, and a chance to rest before setting off on your journey again.

Happy equinox. Blessed be.

There are plenty of rules and guides out there about world building, but I’m sure every writer has their own method. This is mine.
