 Research for my stories...


  • Murder
  • Torture devices and techniques
  • Weapons
  • Poisons
  • Fighting styles
  • Horses
These are the main few things I do research on.
Since mine is a magical world born entirely in my head I don't need to track technological advancements of a certain century or delve into the rules and etiquette of a certain era. What I do need is to be as realistic in details as possible.

I have demons with wings. I have gods who can freeze time. In a fantasy world, it's only natural. But when I write about things that also happen in our (real) world I need to be careful.
A horse can't run for three days straight, nor can we pick a lock with a wooden stick. At least I haven't seen any evidence of it being possible.

So... I turn to Google.
And just for the fun of it, I'm going to show you a few of my questions.

  • How to defend yourself from a dagger/knife attack?
  • Torture devices
  • How to make a sword?
  • How to pick a lock?
  • What are the symptoms of slow-acting poisons?
  • How long does it take for a person to bleed out?
  • Where to hit on the head to knock someone out?
  • Photoshop tutorial for creating a map
  • The distance a horse can run in a day
  • The amount of manure a horse creates...  Yes, that's something I have been researching. The answer is about 50 pounds of manure per day (if anyone was wondering :D )

The last few inquiries aside I have seen some pretty disturbing things. I have watched countless videos of people forging weapons and showing how to wield them. How to attack with a knife.
All for my books. I promise!
