Behind the Scenes: How "Old Ironsides" Became Fiction for America's 250th
businessvantageviews.com ran the announcement — here's the part that usually gets left out: how the idea actually took shape. Getting to the story meant starting with the history, not around it — how "Old Ironsides" has actually been maintained, restored, and mythologized over time. The fiction picks up where the historical record gets quiet, asking what the ship would be doing now if it were still an active presence instead of a museum piece. That question drives this entry in the Dex System Semiquincentennial series. More of these behind-the-scenes notes will run as the series continues.
Also new from AM I AM Publishing: E-Drive: The Good Ghost, available now on Amazon. Claude helped shape some of the research behind this piece.
