I like this first chapter and feel drawn to this character because he reminds me of my grandfather. (My grandfather was born in 1931, served in the Navy during the Korean conflict, graduated from the University of Iowa, and was an electrical engineer. He didn't drink coffee, though.)

Oh wow! The character is modeled on my Dad a little. He was born in 32, served in the Navy during Korea and was a food scientist lol. But I think Jasper ended being more your Grandpa than my Dad

That's cool! My grandpa actually worked on government contracts with Rockwell. I think most things were confidential when he was working on them, so the family didn't know what he was working on. I understand it had to do with missiles. There's no reason to think he was working on interdimensional travel, but you never know.

Question. Will this eventually be available as an ebook or is it only being published on the substack?

I’ll probably do it as an ebook at some point but I don’t know when
