Let me know your thoughts on both endings and on my change of heart. It’s not the biggest deal in the grand scheme of things, but I thought you might enjoy the process. Yesterday, I wrote one last paragraph to end the book, and I’ve added it to all future copies. I’ve spent a long time wondering how I might have added a bit more to the story. Not everyone will love a book but clearly, my artistic choice might have been a poor one.
Nevertheless, it has saddened me to read reviews from folks who adored the story but became irate over the ending. (As I start to think about the next and final book in the series, I’m still not ready to say goodbye!) For the record, I didn’t necessarily write the sequel to answer the cliffhanger, but more because I wasn’t ready to say goodbye to the characters. I believed the theme of hope would carry through and give the readers a chance to tie things up themselves. Looking back, it was my hardheaded artistic self that wouldn’t budge. Against my wife’s advice, I stood by the ending, believing there was no other way to conclude my story.
What you may not know is that I had no intentions of writing a sequel. You might recall the cliffhanger ending in Red Mountain, the one many have given me a hard time about.
