Hey Greg. Where did you get the inspiration to write The Warring States?
Greg Strandberg
Hello Christopher,
I lived in China for 5 years, from 2008 to 2013. In 2010 or so I'd finished my first trilogy of books and needed something else to write. I'd given a few private PowerPoint lessons on ancient Chinese history to a student, and I had the ideas of the Warring States in my head.
After that I just started reading a bunch about it on Wikipedia and then made some simple maps. Then the writing began.
