Heh. We're having a blast with Aftershocks, tired as we are at this point. When it's finally done with -- and it's in the home stretch now -- we're planning to do a ton of "behind the scenes" stuff for anyone who's interested in the process. So you'll get your wish in a large way.
I wrote this mostly because I'd sensed a certain interest or curiosity from a couple of readers about my tendency to cross into other people's stories. I felt like it might be good to talk a little about how that happened.
