Summary
There are no more Napoleons.
That's what Jay Waringcrane thinks. No one person can change the world—certainly not him, a college dropout from suburban Cleveland. Bitter, cynical, and disillusioned, Jay wants only one thing: to go to a different world, a world where he is the protagonist.
Jay gets his opportunity when he meets a devil granting wishes in exchange for souls. One contract later and he's transported to Whitecrosse, a fantastic realm of knights, fairies, and monsters. Whitecrosse teeters on the brink of calamity; it's desperate for a hero, any hero, to shape its destiny. It's exactly what Jay asked for.
But nothing's so simple. The real world, the world Jay left behind, isn't keen on letting someone escape its ironclad logical order. And the embodiment of that order, Jay's uptight and meticulous sister Shannon, will do whatever it takes to drag Jay back home—even if she has to follow him to the gates of Hell.

Summary
So you're creating a fictional universe in which to set a work of art. It can be a daunting task, but it doesn't have to be.
We live in a universe that people have spent hundreds of thousands of years trying to understand and explain. With a little elbow grease and a lot of biology 101, as explained by a professional biologist and avid science fiction origfic writer, anyone can use the hard-earned, phenomenally useful principles of bioscience to craft a fictional world that makes consistent, organic narrative-smithing in the realms of sci-fi, fantasy, speculative fiction, horror, and all the others as easy as setting them somewhere you've lived all your life.
