Len asked J.N. Chaney:

Where can I see your concept art other than Facebook? I see your publication website, but it doesn't have your concept art. Also, I was wondering where you got the idea for Backyard Starship?! I think this concept is brilliant - brought me back to my youth where me and my best friend used to build starships and pretend to take off and explore other worlds.

J.N. Chaney Hey Len,

I will eventually have a section on the site for concept art. I haven't posted it yet because we are building a collection of them.

As for Backyard, Terry Maggert and I developed the idea after a discussion on the first stories we'd ever written. It just so happened, coincidentally, that each story had been about someone finding a starship in a field behind their home. Can you believe that? I was 15 when I wrote mine. I think Terry was around 16. When we realized this, we decided there must be something to it and went ahead and wrote the book you see now.
