Well…I was thinking I’d come up with a really great blog post today, but instead I finished the submission draft of HELL BENT which is the Shame and Terric spinoff to the Allie Beckstrom series, cleaned it up and sent it to my editor.  Since my remaining clever brain cells went into doing that, I am going to call on you, dear readers to help me out with the blog.

This is an official Ask the Dames post.  Is there anything you’re curious about?  Anything in our books you’d like us to answer?  Or maybe you’d like to know what goals we have for the new year, or what projects are cooking, or what movie we’re most looking forward do seeing.

Any question is a good question.  The Dames will do our best to happily answer either in the comments, or in upcoming blog posts.

    I was just wondering a bit about world building? How much you do and what doesn’t necessarily make it into the actually book. Right now I’m working on an idea set sometime in an alternate/ furture world, and I keep getting caught up on the tiniest detail like what their clothes are made of and how it’s manufactured. I know it will probably never make it into the book but I don’t want there to be any glaringly obvious holes in the society. I really admire books like Dune and Game of Thrones where you can see all the extra detail put into the world. So basically I was wondering how your process of world building went?

    I’m always curious about process. Do you typically get character first, situation, or …? And how do you grow that into a full story?
