The scientific aspects of my work come from reading a lot of tech and astronomy sites. I think about how technology will advance and the things we'll do in the future.
The characters come from reading books and watching my favorite shows. I have a lot of influences--too may to list, but for books, this series is heavily influenced by Elizabeth Moon, Tanya Huff, and Mike Shepherd. On the TV/Movies side, shows like Firefly, StarGate SG1, Star Trek Voyager may rank as top influences.
Book 4 will show the Firefly influence, an SG1 influence is the fact that the space force is based on Air Force structure, not Naval, and Voyager influenced by showing a strong female character (Captain Janeway) done right.
Day-to-day, I get inspired to keep going by the excitement from the day before. If I write every day, I will write the next day.

curious does that mean there could be Rika's book on audible. also curious any chance Rika will in the future regain more of her old human body back. i know she right now feels she can do more good as a cyborg. but i guess the idea of her never knowing the feeling of having her organic body completely back sound hard to endure. ?
