I’m deviating from interviews and sharing a short story on this episode.

It is also the prologue from my second book, Ingress. All of my books start with a short story as the prologue. The prologue is set in the past and relates to the present-day setting of the main novel. 

I researched Alaska Native legends. Then I used some of the characteristics for this short story. If you enjoy tales and learning about the Alaska Native culture, may I suggest reading A Dena'ina Legacy, The Collected Writings of Peter Kalifornsky. It has been one of my go-to books when I'm creating characters for my supernatural thrillers.
