Inheritance of Shadows began as The Gate, a free short story that I wrote quickly, to have something to offer readers as a taste of my work and my universe before Lost in Time was published. Although it finished on a satisfying note for me—Rob and Matty found each other—I found myself wanting to know more about what happened afterwards, so I began writing monthly episodes for my newsletter subscribers. This is the result. It includes The Gate as the first chapter, because it wouldn’t make sense without it!
Very big, squishy thank yous go to: Lourenza for her encouragement in moving me along to self-publish; J.M. Snyder, as always, for her support, this time as a publishing partner; Jude Lucens, who provided some very necessary brain-storming that resulted in me losing 3,500 words that are now available to readers of my newsletter as Rob’s War; and finally, all my newsletter subscribers, particularly those of you who took the time to let me know how much you were enjoying the serial. Plus my family, who wish their parent was more like the mother in The Railway Children “because she’s still nice to her children when she’s writing”.
CHAPTER TWO: A Culmination of Years
