Making Your Worlds Come Alive

I have posted here before about worldbuilding, and no doubt I will again.  Only a month or so ago, Benjamin Tate gave  us an excellent guest post on the subject.  But I have been thinking about worldbuilding in a new way since beginning work on the Thieftaker books, which are my first set in a [...]
