When I moved to Delaware in July 2009, a lot of things changed.
While we lived in New York, I'd been invoicing my freelancing under the
"house" consulting firm, Troika Systems,
which Mike and I both used for computer work.
But we moved to Delaware specifically for Mike to take a salaried position,
which made it pointless for him to register Troika in Delaware.
|
I had no real attachment to the Troika name--that was something Mike
had registered before we were married.
So I needed to find a new d/b/a for my
freelancing.
I went looking within the worlds of Fantasy and Science Fiction for a name,
and finally settled on Until Midnight as a homage to one of my
favorite writers,
Jack L. Chalker, gone too soon and missed very much.
For those unfamiliar with Jack's works
(there are many to enjoy and I recommend them highly!),
my first encounter with his writing was
The Saga of the Well World.
All though the books, various cultures (and the Well World has
a *lot* of cultures) include legends that end the same way:
"Until Midnight at the Well of Souls."
I first read the series while I was in college, and later
proofread them when Baen reissued the five books in the original
series.
I love them every time I read them.
I own all of his books, many of them signed,
and I've enjoyed every one of them.
So, Until Midnight is a small way to remember Jack L. Chalker.
The Until Midnight logo was created by noted artist and illustrator
Hannah M.G. Shapero.
