  1. I've tried. If you are going to do something, give it all you've got. H P Lovecraft and Stephen King gave me the idea of creating a connected universe with common threads, enemies, and heroes.

    Thanks for the kind words.

    1. Thanks, Alex. I hoped readers would be intrigued by my side characters and want to read novels that centered on them.

      To me, it gave each adventure the semblance of happening in a real world that held myriad opportunities for my readers to explore.

    1. Me, too. It makes it appear as if the adventures take place in a larger world, a bit like ours. :-)
