It's been seven years since I published Playing with Echoes. While not my first story, it was my first to be published, a dark but encouraging allegory for time spent at the university. Yes, it took a decade to produce the book, as I had started the stories while in architorture school. First came visions of a black supercar rolling down by the river after a thunderstorm. Then came other scenes like a movie in my head. I wrote them down and made a book after the concept proved too ambitious for my usual stop motion animation hobby. It was far darker and grittier as well for the usual hero. Thus the change to the novel format and the focus on the stop motion side character, Agent Inari X.
