What was your favorite aspect about writing "Twelve Strokes of Midnight" ?

Hi Kate, and thank you for stopping by.
It's hard to pick one favourite aspect of writing "Twelve Strokes of Midnight" as it is a collection of short stories.
I think the idea of creating a book of short stories, using each of them to represent the striking of a clock at midnight, is what I liked the most about it. That was my original intention in 1996 when I first thought of the title. As I wrote them, I used to laugh to myself at what would happen when people picked up that I added a few "Easter Eggs" to the book. One of them is very obvious, but only if the reader continues to the very end.
I also like that people who have read it are responding well to it overall, especially to a few of my favourite stories.
