What book are you recommending right now?

For language creation, I recommend The Evolution of Grammar by Bybee et al.

If your story beast had a form, what would it be?

Phantasmia: Imagine a deer, a chandelier, and a Ziegfeld girl merged with a constellation. This is Phantasmia, who walks up an endless, crystal Escheresque staircase, while David Bowie's "As the World Falls Down" plays in the background.

If you could meet one story character, who would it be and why?

Busqueros from The Manuscript Found in Saragossa. Want to see what that rascal gets up to. lol
