Denning now lives in Hawaii, on
the Big Island; Lee lives in
Southern California. They email
and swap ideas; then they outline
and structure and plot and write
and edit and rewrite. Love and
hilarity season these
cross-ocean megabytes. Their
collaboration started
accidentally... but did it, really?
That question may best be left to
serious students of chaos theory.

The Big Island is a very spiritual place... the mountains connect the sea and
the sky, and the whole context entrains your soul... we hope some sense of
this feeling is conveyed in Hiding Hand and Splintered Light...

It's an interesting sensation, sitting in the door of a small airplane, looking
at 10,000 feet of emptiness beneath your legs... and then it's time to jump...
