I’m only a few chapters into the first draft of my 2019 series, which means the characters, the plot, and even the world are entirely in flux. This is the dreamtime of a novel, when I submerge myself in ideas without requiring any of them to stick. Here’s what I know: My heroine is a modern-day…
I can’t actually remember what was going through my head a year ago when decided that my next protagonist was going to be a kitsune — a Japanese fox shifter.
