Hello,
We've had a recent spat of Russian spambots to our little website. It added several dozen spam accounts to the site and caused all kinds of wonderful havoc. Because of this, we're shutting down the Registration for the website for a while to stop the bots from doing what they're been doing. I also deleted a LOT of accounts that I believed to be part of the tsunami. If I inadvertently deleted your account, please forgive me and contact me to let me know. We'll get you back onsite asap.
Best wishes everyone!

Re: Charactor research?
Some of the basic information, like meditation and how various fighting systems work (everyone ignores that last one, sigh) comes from decades of personal practice. I do throw in some differences from time to time, and focus on parts of things that create shifting in the written work (as compared to this reality) but they are things I know fairly well, on a person practice level that it doesn't take much data sifting to figure out.
Other things are simply researched, as definitive projects. For instance, I'm currently working with human generated Infrasound techniques, and may incorporate a version (dressed up and made spiffier, since, face it, that's the good part of fiction!) in the next set of books I work on. (After Gwen, which I should have finished in a few days, getting ready to edit at that time.)
Other things I just look up. (Google!)
Do you have specifics to ask about? I can clarify, on individual topics.

Re: Charactor research?
Well I was actually primarily interested in the meditation and martial arts aspects of that kind of thing, I wondered if you practice them (some or all aspects) if so where you got training, if you got training, how they affect you compared to before you started.
(on a more invasive personal note) I was also wondering what drove you to get into that aspect of training?

Re: Character research?
It would take a book (if a small one) to describe those aspects of my being. I've studied and practiced martial arts from age nine, and devoted a level of attention to it that is... Probably a sing of obsession.
I practiced meditation for thousands of hours. Daily for nearly three decades.
Now, why? That's a good question. To collect unusual capabilities. It's what I do, in my spare time, even now.
