About a prequel to Wolf-brother
Antonio writes…
Have you ever thought about writing something like a prequel to Wolf brother? About the story of Torak and Renn parents, Fin Kedinn; and their relationship, and how things turned up the way they did. Thanks for writing the way you do!
Hello, Antonio. Over the years, many readers have expressed interest in a prequel, but I have to say that I have never been tempted. I think that’s mainly because we already know how things turned out for Torak and Renn’s parents and for Fin-Kedinn – so I’d find it a bit hard to create any narrative suspense. Also, I prefer to leave things somewhat mysterious, and up to the reader’s imagination – especially where Fin-Kedinn is concerned. I know lots of other writers feel differently about prequels, and they write really good ones; but I don’t think they’re for me. Thanks for getting in touch, and I do hope you continue to enjoy the stories! With very best wishes, Michelle
