Sometimes, the stories we think we’ve finished… aren’t finished with us.

In this episode of Miles Beyond the Page, I’m going behind the curtain to talk about something I didn’t expect—falling back in love with a long-running series I wrote years ago: Dream Walker Series.

And yes—this episode is also about Kincade, the broody, controlled, quietly dangerous character who has completely taken over my brain, my writing schedule, and my emotional stability.

✨ In this episode, I share:

• What it’s really like revisiting a long fantasy series years later

• Why authors don’t love a series the same way at every stage of life

• How perspective changes character arcs, foreshadowing, and emotional stakes

• Why I’m updating the Dream Walker series now (and what that actually means)

• The surprising joy of returning to a story that feels like coming home

• Why certain characters refuse to let authors go

This is an honest, behind-the-scenes look at long-term storytelling, character obsession, and the deep emotional bonds that form between authors and their worlds.

If you’ve ever wondered:

• why authors revisit old books

• why some series evolve over time

• or why certain characters live rent-free in our heads

This episode is for you.
