I am not surprised YOU noticed that.
I lace all my tales with things that I hope people will notice: names of characters, places, or things from other stories (many not my own), and little Easter eggs here and there that I wonder if anyone will spot. MOST go unnoticed. Not because people don't pay attention, but more likely because the references are too obscure.
I had a friend in high school that used to sigh all the time and say, "I sure hope I know what I'm doing!" We were close. 😁
It's fun for me to reference these other places and times, even if no one knows what I mean but me!
