Welcome back to the crossroads.
As you know, Dan Antion shares his photographs to illustrate Brother Love. I make the serial “interactive” by letting things left by readers drive everything about the story.
I’ve completed at least six long-running serials here at Teagan’s Books — each of them written spontaneously and driven by “things” from readers. Perhaps the thing I enjoy most about writing these serials is involving you readers. I just had another idea for how to do that. I’m naming the businesses in fictional Parliament, Mississippi after readers! Keep an eye out for a couple of them today. I hope you’ll take a moment to visit all the links.
The reader “thing” today is a Coke from Mary J Melange. Be sure to check out her marvelous blog. Say hello to Gibbs and…

Welcome back to the crossroads.
As you know, the popular blogger and photographer Dan Antion illustrates Brother Love. I try to bring Dan into some of the process of creating the story. The “things” for this chapter led me to a scene that required some knowledge I didn’t possess — dark-haired actresses of the era. At the time Dan was visiting his brother, Bruce, and they both took up the challenge. Read on and you’ll see what I mean.
Sometimes my life creeps into my stories, with small parallels. I’ve been having a disfiguring allergy problem. (It’s finally a lot better, thanks. Apparently running its dreadfully long course, just as they said.) I guess that’s why my narrator for this story became conscious of her appearance in chapters 4 and 5.

Note: Last week I mentioned Dan was working on his own post about his part of the inspiration for the Doug Armstrong character. That is Dan’s Saturday post this week at his blog, No Facilities.

Welcome to my sanctuary at the crossroads. Relax and sit for awhile. It makes no difference what your name may be. Although there is oh so much in a name.
I tend to obsess about character names. In stories with a real world setting (even if they are also fantasy) I try to add authenticity through the names of some characters. With Atonement, Tennessee and Atonement in Bloom, I consulted a (public) government database that will show the most popular names, for a state, in a given year.
Last time in A Hymn, we met two new characters, a woman and a little…

Welcome back to the crossroads everyone!
I should probably begin with a disclaimer. This story is not about religion, nor is it a social commentary — that’s just part of the setting. I also want you to understand that I approach this aspect of the story carefully. While the story includes ways that I knew well and was involved in as a child, as an adult I acquired my own unique spirituality.
That said, last time in A Shadow, now you learned some of the backstory for the Doug Armstrong character. Today I wanted to tell you how his character came to be.
You already know that Dan Antion provides photos to inspire me and illustrate this story — and that he gives me two of the “three things” that drive each episode of this…
