So, here we are, the moment of truth.
As I worked my way toward finishing Book 3, I found myself stuck. It seemed to me that too much time had elapsed for there to be interest in Book 3 (except for a handful of very dedicated fans) when you couldn’t even get a copy of Book 1 easily. It bothered me.
Also, to motivate me, my wife suggested I serialize Book 3 as I wrote it. I like writing on a schedule, in small chunks, for an audience, no matter how small. But the same problem arose–who would want to jump in at Book 3?
The obvious answer, of course, was to serialize the whole series. It just took some time for me to warm up to it.
Here’s the plan. Starting soon (hey, it’s the holidays, I don’t know when I’ll get to it exactly), I’ll post a chapter or two a week. New readers can start at the beginning, and it’ll help me keep immersed in the world of Strin and Fred as I write Book 3.
But, even cooler, from my point of view, I’ll be adding footnotes» <–Did you click the link?
Stick around and try a few chapters of Book 1, Trouble on the Horizon.» If you’ve read it before, stop in for the behind the scenes snippets.
See you soon!
Really cool, Nick. I ‘m excited about the footnotes part.
Yeah, I think you’ll find the footnotes interesting. When you reach the end of what I have up, you’ll have to bug me to keep it going. I get sidetracked.
