Incarnation was a story born out of many hours of contemplation, research, pencil sketches, and jotted notes. The finished novel was a window into a vast, fictional universe—a dramatized perspective. But there are other windows. For those of you who enjoy such things, I wanted to provide you with a more direct perspective—something closer to the world-building process that I used to create the novel.

I was inspired by the making of documentaries of movies and those gigantic reader’s companion tomes that I used to find lying on coffee tables at my local bookstore. Someday I would love to offer a fully-illustrated, hardcover coffee-table book for the whole series. For now I thought you might enjoy something shorter, significantly less expensive, and much more accessible to the average reader.
