Ever wondered what goes into great world building? You'll find the answer here in this great guide for both writers and game designers. "One of Jennifer Fallon's greatest strengths as a writer is her world building. The worlds created for her novels blend the familiar and the alien with a deft hand, conviction and detail convincing the reader not just of the physicality of the world the characters move through, but of its history and politics. There is a genuine sense of scale to the The Immortal Prince, a breadth and scale that suggests a broader world beyond that we have seen in the story. --The SF Site Jennifer Fallon is the author of 17 bestselling fantasy and science fiction novels, 4 different series, numerous short stories, and has written official tie-in stories for both Stargate SG1 and Zorro. She is published in 6 languages (at last count), has worked with some of the top editors and publishers in the industry (Tor, Orbit, HarperCollins, Random House, etc) and has been teaching writing master classes for the past 8 years.
