Loose Change: The Case Files of a Homeless Investigator Page 17
by Sean Huxter
Fairly quickly a back story arose that I began hinting at in the stories.
I wanted this story to come out over the course of a number of individual short investigations.
I also wanted the characters around my hero to advance as well, and readers can see that happen as these short stories progress.
I felt as if I were writing more of a TV series than a novel. A novel wouldn't be as episodic. A novel wouldn't remind the reader in one story of events of previous ones.
So I came up with the idea of an anthology of short stories that advanced a greater story arc, the way many TV series work these days.
I hope you enjoy Loose Change and I hope my portrayal of the homeless does them justice, not harm.
