I have a terrible memory, especially for names. There's a sort of hereditary aphasia in my Mother's family which I seem to have a double dose of. Using "Denver" for "Detroit" in a recent story is one symptom of this. That I am having nerve problems with my hands which affect my touch typing isn't helping.
I recently discovered I had accidentally referred to Vic's wife Michelle as Melissa a few times in a few stories. I believe I have corrected all such instances. However, if anyone finds future incidents of this sort of name problem, please let me know.
I am over 4k words into the next Masks story and am also occasionally working on the third (and presumably final) Angel story. This in addition to working on and trying to sell non-TF stories in other venues. The Masks story is taking longer than it should, in part because I wasted a huge amount of effort trying unsuccessfully to find my notes for an RPG I ran decades ago. Once I admitted that was a lost cause and simply redid the research that took about twenty minutes. Argh.

I've read authors often write character 'backstories', notes, time-lines, all sorts of extra stuff, to help keep their work consistent. So this could be a way to help you keep names, places straight. Hope this helps :)
