(view spoiler)[This is tough for me.
I’ve been creating fictional worlds since my youth when I played 1st Edition AD&D and read Tolkien. Along with the Mabinogion.
In my mind, these worlds are real. So, real that from time to time they are vividly in my dreams.
Take, for instance, Rosella Tolfree. She’s been in my dreams, telling me what she wants from me. Just when I thought I could stop writing for the day, she has to suggest revisions in my sleep.
Recently, I’ve been working on a story that involves a murderous female android to be an antagonist to Rosella, and I’ve had a couple of dreams where she’s crept in only to tell me she’s infecting me with her psychotic ways. Try to explain that one to a therapist.
I know this doesn’t answer the question, but I find fictional worlds creepy as they enter my dreams at night and run amok.
I’ve had the same problem with movies.
So, all the same, I would rather stay at home than go travel to a fictional world. I already do that at night. (hide spoiler)]

My inspiration comes from the world around me. As one who write science fiction, I take what I see, read and hear about technology and society and draw it out to the nth degree.

I'm working on the Rosella Tolfree Installment Series. See www.rosellatolfree.com

My "most recent book" which is about to be published in the next few weeks is a collection of short installment stories dealing with the character Rosella Tolfree. I got the idea of doing this series after attending a writer's panel discussion on racial balance in fiction writing. Too much of fiction is "white", so I've decided to mix it up a bit using Sci-Fi.
