She has a passion for storytelling across various media, with a special interest in horror. &amp;nbsp;The American Sci-Fi / Mystery author Christopher Pike is a strong influence on her work. By day, R E HOLDING is a scientist... but by night, she is a horror-fantasy writer.&amp;nbsp; Her recent novel “Reaper’s Gamble,” features some excellent world-building and a believable magic system that’s rooted in crafts and guilds. &amp;nbsp;So I wanted to talk with her about writing plausible magic and describing realistic worlds. This new interview covers the author’s world-building tips, insights into what she describes as ‘world-building sickness’, her magic system development, and her editing techniques.
