My fellow authors,
I come to a cross road. I have reworked my debut novella, Pieces of Us. Do I release it as a new edition and keep the old one for sale, or take the old version down and only have the improved version? I appreciate any input.

I was out this morning with my beautiful wife representing my good friends Sons of Gulliver. Give them a listen. Their album Tetrahedric Hellscape Cannon is on Spotify.

Rewrites are going well. I'm really excited to share all the improvements with you. #booksky #indieauthor #revamp #Amwriting #Authorlife #piecesofuniverse
I’ve been revisiting Pieces of Us. I realize I can make it even better.
I’m doing a rewrite! The original is still for sale. I'll give more information as it comes. Thanks for your patience and support while I work on making this story the best.

Sometimes I find notes past me wrote about my book and then I laugh way too hard. Past me is funny. #indieauthor #booksky #amwriting #booknotes
Oh definitely. Taken together both stories show sometimes there are no heroes or villains just two people whose lives crossed paths.
Pieces of Us is already published
And Where The Pieces Go is the same story from Lacie's POV and it also is published.
The two main Characters Collin and Lacie are meant for the reader to connect with they both approach the reunion in different ways. I refer to them at times as the Stone and the Storm.
Old friends, new friends, and an ex just to make things awkward.

It centers around two main characters but there are around 8 other characters they interact with that have their own opinions on the events in the novel.
I just make sure memories and flashbacks from the original stay consistent. I want my characters to remember events close to 100% but you could easily have them misremember them and then in the prequel the read could be like "ooohhh it happened differently."

Some things take years to confess.
It took me 15 years off and on to finish Pieces of Us. I hope you enjoy it.
