I am fortunate to have people in my life who inspire me. Reed Mingault is one of those. She is my cousin and writing buddy. We are both relatively new taking our writing seriously. This sparks great conversation whenever we get together.
It is exciting to share the writing process with someone who thinks differently. Even though our genres are very different, her ideas have been helpful to me. Especially when I get stuck and my typical solutions are not working.
Reed is a fiction writer primarily of secondary world Fantasy. (This is fantasy fiction taking place in other worlds.) She enjoys adding creatures in vivid world-building in her work. I love how she weaves the message of hope into all her writing. Her work is thought-provoking and inspiring.

It was also very satisfying to talk with a fellow writer about the craft that she loves. I am sure that you will find something useful here for your writing life!
