Why I Wrote Echoes Beneath: A Project Enterprise Story
Do you like to know what went on behind the scenes of a story? As a long time reader, I’ve always been curious about how an author came up with an idea, or “met” the characters, or why they chose to tell a story that way. That’s why I make a point of doing a…

Why I Wrote JUST IN TIME
This is a story that took fourteen years to write, so I feel like there ought to be more to the story behind the story. But this is also 2020 — the year where hindsight is more like ouch, ouch than twenty-twenty. These posts serve two functions for me: I like knowing a bit about the story…
