Do You Read Prequels?
It was fun writing this short story prequel after writing the two first books. Going backwards to an earlier time in the character's life and imagining what caused the events that occurred later was challenging and a great creative exercise. I wonder what readers think of prequels? Do you like to find out the "backstory"? Do you mind reading them after you have read the other books in the series? Would you like to read short stories about other secondary characters in separate books? I would also like to know if readers enjoy the shorter novellas and Amazon "Short Reads" category that is becoming more popular. What's YOUR opinion?
Book Excerpt
Dream Horse
THAT MORNING
“Are you coming this afternoon?” I ask.
Mom spins around, sloshing coffee on her I mean business suit. “Oh, no, of all days. I don’t have time to change.” She rushes to the sink and rips off half a roll of paper towels to wet them. “What’s this afternoon?” She glances up for a second in between dabbing at the dark stain on her blouse.
I stop fingering the place in my paddock boot where the stitching is coming undone and let my foot drop to the floor. “The show.” I hold back the irritation in my voice, but I can hear the edges of it. I’ve learned that never helps my cause with Mom.
She slams the wad of wet towels in the trash. “I can’t, Cory.”
Our eyes meet.
