In terms of tips, it does not hurt to do background research.

When I had more time to devote to my Mystical Realms series, I did quite a lot. For my season seven, I did quite a lot of research on the Soviet space programme. I also studied about the FBI and the NSA for my season eight. For my tales I researched the American school system, and I spent quite a bit of time with Google maps and street view for roads in the US.

I wasn't aware we had an Author in our ranks. That's awesome. Are they available as ebooks or online somewhere?

The research part, to me is the appealing part.
