Author's Foreword
From Storm:
When The Sentinel was first canceled, fan protests of epic proportions were directed at the powers that be, including an ad taken out in a major industry magazine, and a letter writing campaign to end all letter writing campaigns.
One method used to get as many letters as possible sent was a story auction. Various authors promised to write specific stories that were then put up for bid with letters to bring back The Sentinel used as the 'currency' of choice.
Though I offered a 'Final Exam' story as my auction item, Wolfling, who won that bid, had just finished beta'ing 'Storm Signs' for me, and asked for a sequel to it instead. Since I already had one floating in the back of my head, I agreed, and it was subsequently printed in Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, once again with saraid's approval and patient help with my endless questions about her universe.
This time it was Jim and Blair 'putting right what went wrong' for a very special person in Sam's life.
In the process they learned more about what it meant to be together as Panther and Chief, even as Sam and A1 learned more about the strange and wonderful existence they had Outside of Time.
From the online posting:
This all started with a single mental image: Jim, Blair and Simon sitting at the table in the loft, a slip of paper fluttering from Jim's fingers which said, "They know you're a sentinel. Take Blair and run."
That was three novels ago.
And more years than I want to admit to. So much has happened in that time that the back story for the stories is almost a novel in and of itself. I won't bore you with details unless you ask me for them, and I advise you to be comfy, drink in hand, when you do. It'll take a while.
Like any other project, this one would have been impossible without beta's, editors, artists, and friends who took the time to get comfy, drink in hand, and listened to me rant. I wish I could thank them all individually, but then that would fill a good sized zine by itself. There are three who must be mentioned though, because none of it would have happened without their help: saraid, who not only let me play in her Panther/Chief universe, but encouraged me and answered my endless questions; the ladies of the New England Gather who let me talk story with them when I was stuck (Man, I miss you guys), and my husband of 26 years, who even beta'd for me, as long as it wasn't the 'messy bits.'
I also want to give a special thanks to Hisstah, who asked me the right question at the right time, inspiring me to re-edit the first two stories and write the third one. I love the painting, lady, and yeah, there might be a fourth story someday. *G*
