David Casperson asked Kate Elliott:

I just read "Black Wolves", I am catching up on reviews for the Spirit Gate trilogy. Here's the actual question. When I read Traitors' Gate, I though you might have been inspired in part by then current American politics, but then later read that it and "Black Wolves" are all a prequel to a yet-to-written trilogy. So... to what extent do current affairs influence your writing when you already have a plot in mind?
