Fantasy

The real world reveals fanastic natural wonders to inspire Fantasy. When writing my fantasy novel , I had the basic plot complete and a first draft on paper when a visit to New Mexico inspired the ancient Fortress of Stone.

Large rock formations, mountains, and golden Aspens cutting ribbons of color through dark pine forests provided the magical element I needed to add dimension and realism to the fantasy landscape. One huge rock formation sat amid a valley like a castle and thus the Fortress of Stone was born.
