#WritersCoffeeClub 26: How culturally diverse do your casts tend to be?

I write pretty diverse stories across multiple axes, but cultural diversity hasn't been a huge thing in my writing yet. Most of what I write is fantasy, dealing with completely made up worlds and cultures. Then in something like Non-Player Character, though the cast is diverse, the cultural differences are small. They're all British geeks who like video games and TTRPGs. There's variation within that, but still.

#WritersCoffeeClub 27: Recommend a book that had an impact on your prose.

This is a tough one, because while many books have impacted me personally, or the kinds of stories I want to tell, I don't think I've read much where I looked at the prose and went 'I'm going to emulate that.'

Closest thing I can think of is Terry Pratchett. The cleverness of his prose encouraged me to play around with jokier lines. But that's not really my style, and he had more of an effect in other ways.
