Made in 1629, Koishikawa Botanical Gardens is a traditional Japanese garden located near Tokyo Dome. Quite a few of the scenes in the garden are inspired by famous Chinese landscapes. The garden is loved by locals for its cherry blossoms in the spring and its fall foliage.

I have written about character building before, but this time, I want to have a particular focus on character building for the fantasy genre. My books are more than often, character driven and art of characterisation can be powerful, turning plots into amazing and awesome stories.

Disney is a cornerstone of the American childhood. Even for someone like myself who was raised in an environment where most Disney movies were banned because of the witchcraft, sorcery, or overt references to Satan (The cat in Cinderella is named Lucifer, for example), I was still influenced via friends or the occasional contraband storybook found in a dentist’s or doctor’s waiting room that I would sneak into a corner or playhouse and read. I didn’t see most Disney movies until I was a babysitting teenager. To this day I have never seen Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs or 101 Dalmatians, yet I could tell you the stories and even sing nearly all the songs. With such a pervasive influence, it was impossible to escape the clutch of Disney.

We took a road trip from our apartment in Baumholder along Germany’s Fairytale Road. Germany is where the Brothers Grimm wrote famous tales like Little Red Riding Hood, Snow White, Cinderella, Rapunzel, and Sleeping Beauty. There are so many amazing road trips in Germany, but this one allows you to relive those childhood stories. It’s also one of the prettiest drives in the country. The route offers beautiful views and a deep dive into the Brothers Grimm’s tales. Be ready for an experience that might surprise you.

I was in Copenhagen last week, revelling in the exoticism. Mouse-blond hair, sea-glass eyes; tall Vikings cycling along, with their fresh complexions and stubby boots. Wearing stripes and eating shrimp on black bread. Looking patient, civilized, sturdy and weathered, with a touch of glorious paganism under the surface. Privy to the great magnetic secrets of the boreal realm. Sexy: so cold and well meaning and white. Mysterious: the real reason that I devour all that generally disappointing Scandinavian noir. While they were busy looking at me and savoring the imaginary fire under my swarthy skin and kinky hair, I was busy enjoying my fantasies about them.
