There’s an important reason I mention these two novellas here. The subject matter and characters featured in both novellas are directly related to the next book in the Jack Rogan Mysteries Series I am working on right now.  An excerpt from The Note from the Author at the beginning of the new book explains:

“Jack Rogan Mysteries novellas have been interposed between books to act as ‘story bridges’ to assist readers in following the series and enhancing the overall reading experience by providing back stories and related material that didn’t feature in the Novels.

In this case, two award-winning novellas will do just that, namely, The Bone Scraper Legacy and Murder on the Ghan. These novellas are relevant here and connect this book with previous storylines. In subtle ways, this book expands and continues the plot structure and characters featured in each novella, thereby preparing the way for what’s to come. After all, this is a series.

To improve your reading experience and create anticipation and curiosity, I invite you to do the following:

If you are unfamiliar with these two novellas, please read them before delving into this book, as they form a ‘literary package’ designed to enhance the enjoyment and understanding of the book.

I hasten to add that this is not essential, as the book stands alone like all the others. Still, this approach would undoubtedly add an expanded appreciation of the plot structure and the characters involved, without being subjected to the laborious and annoying repetition so commonly found in series of this kind.”

Of course, many of you have already read the two novellas, but may I suggest that you revisit the storylines as this would significantly add to, and enhance, the reading experience of the next book.
