I’ve been away for a bit again due to some projects at work but one of the big projects has been completed so I’m hoping to get my creativity going again. I’ve been toying with this idea for a while and finally decided I want to do this. I’m going to start a series of short stories that fill in those blank spaces in my book Rise of the Winged Assassin. The idea is that if you’ve read the book these are Easter eggs for you, and if you haven’t read the book, maybe it will spark some interest in getting a copy.
I’m going to try to adapt these stories to also work on Instagram, but it may be that the short Instagram posts will vary from the longer, more book-like version I can post here.
After receiving questions from my readers, I did some brainstorming, and came up with some side stories from those questions that should be interesting.
Side Story Requests from Readers
The scar on Lorelei’s back- how did this happen?
A request came for a first-person short story with Hayden. Uhhh I don’t know yet. Believe me, he’s much scarier in first person than third. I’ll think on this one.
Shaye seems to know a lot of people from the Outlands. Why is this? Who is he really?
Is there something between Shaye and Sarah we don’t know about?
Just who is caring for that scary hanguri tree under the waterfall? There’s a hint that someone has to be caring for it since it’s not from around there.
More information and content about Lucien, who is apparently is a fan favorite even though he’s not in the book much. Heck I want more too. I love him. He will be hard to do without giving away the secret but I can think something up.
Thank you for joining me again after so long. This post was short and sweet but I wanted to get something written after such a long time. Writing makes me happy and it’s been too long since I’ve been able to do it. I have some writing work to do and I’m very excited about it.
I hope you enjoy the stories as much as I will enjoy writing them. Lorelei and her scar will be the first to come out.
Until then, Write Well and Prosper!
