I don’t know about you but after I read something and thoroughly enjoy it I like to know as much about the project as possible. What choices were made in the background? How was the initial concept conceived? Thoughts about specific moments and the level of difficulty in pulling it together. I find author commentaries fascinating in this regard.
Tales from Portents Author Commentaries
The second installment of the Greystone series has been out for a little over a month now. You’ve read it and loved every freaking second of it, I am sure.
If not – for shame – some handy dandy links will take you to your favorite retailer to procure a copy.
Why should you snag it now and devour it eagerly? Besides the fact that it is currently only 99-cents digitally right this very minute????
Author commentaries are on the way next week!
I did this with Signs of Portents and really enjoyed digging into the process and where things changed from draft to final manuscript. Being the forward thinker I am – HA – I took some time during the editing process and the many readings therein to mark down what I thought were interesting nuggets about each and every entry in the Tales from Portents collection.
Every story had its trials, its changes and I wanted to share them with you. Like I said, I find author commentaries fascinating because they inform the writing process. Understanding how to think around obstacles in order to create a more satisfying reading experience.
Spoiler Warning
I will be talking about what happens in each story and I don’t want the experience ruined for you. You have been warned!
If there is a specific topic (plot point, scene, character, etc.) you would like mentioned please feel free to contact me and I will be happy to share. Unless it spoils future novels. If you want me to tell you how everyone dies in a fiery crash, I’m not going to do it. Oh, wait… Forget I wrote that.
Reviews
If you’ve read Tales from Portents and haven’t been able to write a review yet, they would be greatly appreciated. Reviews really are the only social proof authors have that they’ve written something halfway decent that people will enjoy. Thank you for taking the time to help spread the word about Tales and all the Greystone novels.
And thanks for reading!
