John and Dickens: A Christmas Mystery is the thirty second in a series of novels and novellas. During the writing of each book, I have kept a journal in which I have reflected on each chapter as a contribution to the writing process and speculated as to what to do next in order to advance that cause. The story of the evolution of this novella through planning, writing, editing and polishing - is described in the journal, The Making of A Christmas Mystery.
