I find it funny that most authors of fantasy novels brag about how much research they had to do to find out the weight of a long sword or how chainmail armor is made. Here I am looking up how dreadlocks work for my story. I jumped into writing Kindred Sin assuming I'd be able to get away with making most of the stuff up. Boy was I wrong. After I'm done figuring out how my main character does his hair, I'll have to look up the cliche mythology, martial arts styles, assault rifles, biblical timelines, and what it's like to live in both Boston AND California. And this is all for the near future.

In other news I found this pic of a guy who bears a shocking resemblance to my main character. Hope whoever he is, he doesn't mind that I made a few JPEGs depicting him as such.
