Love the discworld artwork below, as I have every Discworld book Terry Pratchett has written. 2. LOVE the concept of a female Dragon shifter book. I write about a female wolf shifter named Sasha, after my peekinese, lol. It's free on smashwords Apple store etc. I haven't put it on Amazon yet it's with my editor. It Shifting Moonlight, by Ahmari Das. Let me know if you read it what you think. It's just a short story prequel to see if it would be popular series. I've had positive feedback, so am writing the first complete book now. Have a great day!

I'd add that it's important to always recognize a balance, especially keeping your audience in mind. Some people love Tolkien-like tomes filled with world-building details and backstory, but others prefer a quick bit here and there, focused more on character and plot. Terry Pratchett's Discworld, which you open with, brings that style a bit more to mind. Then of course there's the inevitable arguments with content editors (I just finished this phase) where you insist on leaving elements of worldbuilding they think are unnecessary... Thanks for the great post.
