Behind the Scenes: How "Old Ironsides" Became Fiction for America's 250th

A quick look behind the piece that thehealthierweb.com just featured. The idea came out of a mismatch: the real "Old Ironsides" is meticulously preserved, but preservation isn't the same as being alive in a story. Closing that gap took research into the ship's actual history before a single line of fiction got written. It's the same method behind every release in the Dex System Semiquincentennial series — start with what's real, then ask what's next. That's the thinking underneath the fiction — the rest is on the page.

Also new from AM I AM Publishing: E+Drive: The Good Ghost, available now on Apple Books. Behind-the-scenes research got an assist from Gemini.
