(view spoiler)[Were you planning on Our Kate (that's what I dubbed the protagonist in my head- what do you call her?) and Trey as endship from the beginning of the series? And if so, in writing the Our Kate/Kiernan scenes, did you ever have moments of doubt?
And... this isn't a question, but Kate makes an AWESOME heroine. Super compelling. :) (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[Thanks for the question, Cheryth! Apologies for the delayed answer -- they need to give automatic notifications when a question pops up!!
I'm a "pantser" not a "plotter," so with the exception of the overall framework of a story, the plot unfolds for me as the characters experience it. The only thing I knew early on was that Kate would get the guy she wanted--in other words, some sort of "happily-ever-after."
By the end of Timebound, it was pretty clear to me who she wanted--or at least, who she wanted most. And she'd have had to give up so much to be with Kiernan since he couldn't stay with her in her time.
But were there doubts? Yes...and they're in the book, since the doubts I felt were Kate's own doubts. :) (hide spoiler)]

Did you put together and test your science backed mechanisms and operations of time before you started writing or did they evolve around them? As a reader, I feel cheated when you can tell an author has just patched a science or magic model together (Harry Potter comes to mind). As a writer, I must have spent as much time on my universe as I have on my novels. I am particularly interested as the Delphi Project evolves
