Back Story
- "Delaware St. John: A Chance Meeting" novel self-published September 24, 2010 by series author Bryan Wiegele via free downloadable PDF. This novel provides insight as to how Delaware and Kelly met as well as the telling of events leading up to the game, "Volume 1: The Curse of Midnight Manor." In the foreword Wiegele states:
"When I originally conceived the Delaware St. John games I envisioned a series of games that followed closely behind Delaware and the mysteries that came to him. In addition I prepared the outline for a series of books that focused on what happened between these events that focused on more of the characters around him. The stories posted on the website hinted at this but never fully established the happenings taking place between the games."

Famous quotes containing the word story:
“No one can write a best seller by trying to. He must write with complete sincerity; the clichés that make you laugh, the hackneyed characters, the well-worn situations, the commonplace story that excites your derision, seem neither hackneyed, well worn nor commonplace to him.... The conclusion is obvious: you cannot write anything that will convince unless you are yourself convinced. The best seller sells because he writes with his heart’s blood.”
—W. Somerset Maugham (1874–1966)
“And now, dear little children, who may this story read,
To idle, silly, flattering words, I pray you ne’er give heed;
Unto an evil counselor close heart, and ear, and eye,
And take a lesson from this tale of the Spider and the Fly.”
—Mary Howitt (1799–1888)
