The Struggle to Write Sterkarm Tryst
Sterkarm Tryst was the third Sterkarm book, written about ten years after the first two had been published.
Its plot involved two different sets of Sterkarms from different dimensions -- the same people but with different experiences.
Writing it was, as my Scots partner would say, 'heid-nippin'.'
To say the least.
