In 2010 when the small press that was to publish Bryony pushed back publication by a year (after we had done nine months of premarketing), my publicist suggested I keep the momentum going by writing a short story based on the novel for public readings.
I had no ideas, but she had one: a story about Brian's stray cat, Snowbell.
So I wrote the story, printed copies for my family as a Christmas present and read it at a few events. This year, after vanishing from the event scene for a few years following my family's economic crisis, I'm happy to report I will be appearing at two in October. Details should be available this week on the BryonySeries website.
At these events, I will have copies of Snowbell to distribute to the first fifteen people interested in receiving one. The copies are completely free. We (or should I say Rebekah) is working on making a free electronic copy available on the website.
I feel it's a nice way to offer new readers a sample of the series as well as to say "thank you" to loyal readers over the years.
