Thank you, Josh. The only answer I can give you is that I try to write as honestly as I can about the things that are most on my mind. 3.9K views · 31 likes · 1 reposts · 3 replies Open on X →

Interesting question. As it happens, I wrote the novel pretty much front to back. (True for all the books of the trilogy.) I don't always do things that way, but it's what the story asked me to do. 4.9K views · 51 likes · 0 reposts · 9 replies Open on X →

@jccronin my wife and I are reading the Passage series (on CoM now) We were discussing book 1 over coffee this morning, methods of exposition & wanted to know.. Did you write the "building the train" section first or "The Colony" story first? 5.6K views · 7 likes · 0 reposts · 0 replies Open on X →
