In reply to barbdelong. Thanks, Barb! Setting, societal norms, political nuances are all part of world building. And when you write paranormal stories, you know that the "rules" of your world have to be included as well, just as if your novel were set in a prison. The judicial laws we all live by are part of our world. The "personal rules" a character lives by...those are all about character arcs.

You're absolutely right, Fae! Every author world builds in every story, from a present-day inner NYC slum to a galaxy far, far away. I thought I was getting away from it when I set my contemporary paranormal story in the Sierra Mountains. Ha! It's a different world up there, not to mention all the rules and regs of my witch's magic. Thanks for posting, Fae!

Thanks, Debbie. You world build very nicely in the new Harlequin Intrigue series, hitting a home run with the third in the series with your Appalachian Abduction! Appalachian Prey looks great, too. Congratulations!
