    Kit Tunstall

    USA Today bestselling author Kit Tunstall lives in Idaho with her husband and two sons. She enjoys writing several genres and subgenres. When she started publishing, dinosaurs roamed the earth, and authors had one pen name with their publisher. That was the name you wrote everything under, no matter how dissimilar. Thanks to advances in publishing, it's now easy to have more than one pen name, and many readers have come to expect a certain type of book experience from each author. The "brand," if you will. Kit's catalog makes it difficult to tell what brand you're getting, so she has "co-authored" each type with a pen name, so you'll know what kind of book to expect. * Contemporary romances that are super steamy: Kit Kyndall * Science fiction and/or paranormal romance: Aurelia Skye * Edgier works (including fertile erotic romances and bad boys): Kristianna Sawyer * Historical Romances: Kristina Saxon * Horror, SciFi, dystopian, and post-apocalyptic without (much) romance: T.K.

    Introduction

    If you’re reading this, you’re an author or an aspiring one, and you want to make sure you have a solid world for your story. The world builder can be used with just about any type of fiction you write, from historical to fantasy to modern-day.

    What makes me qualified to tell you how to world-build? I’m a USA Today bestselling author who has written more than three hundred novels and novellas in my career under various pen names, and as a ghostwriter for some big names. I also co-own a successful outlining business that has plotted a number of Top 100 titles in the years we’ve been in business. I know plot, structure, and world-building.
