CTP (S3EOctSpecial6 BAWks:1-4) Edgework: Writing Crime, Tech, and Trust
[BOOKS / AUTHORS Weeks - Week 1 sub-episode 4 (Thu. 20251016)]
Two veteran technologists turned co-authors unpack how they built the Enigma Heirs trilogy, from real-world research and composite villains to an AI ally named SIKABOD and a workflow that keeps one seamless voice. We swap tools, backup rituals, and the “literary ping-pong” that powers their chapters without losing control of versions.
• origins of the Enigma Heirs trilogy and Enigma Jewels
• the three half-brothers’ crime dynasties and stakes
• moving from tech manuals to fiction for durability and freedom
• composite characters drawn from real encounters and travel
• research practices to ground technology and plausibility
• collaborative process using outlines, spreadsheets, and daily passes
• ensuring a single narrative voice through iterative editing
• acronym humor and the AI SIKABOD as a series mainstay
• backup strategies, version control, and naming conventions
• tool talk, file transfers, and email spam mishaps
• links to the series site (http://EnigmaSeries.com)
• future guest invites
