    Preston I recently shared my thoughts about Bloodlines over on Substack, but mostly that was about how I was afraid to go back and re-read it. With Ed writing behind the scenes stories about each of our releases, this seems like a good place to talk about how I came to write Bloodlines. In a…

    One Crazy Idea

    I (Preston) published a version of this article on my Substack back in early April. If you want the early scoop about my writing projects, that’s a good place to subscribe (for free).
