Extra Scenes

Inevitably, not everything in an original manuscript makes it into the final novel. Sometimes it’s simply a matter of word count for reasons of production costs; it may be that some scenes are deemed unnecessary to the overall narrative, a bit of author self-indulgence; or perhaps it seems a little overly scholarly, material that might more suit the historian than the fiction reader. It’s often with a bit of heart searching that I have made cuts over the years. It is never easy to lose narrative scenes that you have sweated over! But there’s no reason why such omissions shouldn’t see the light of day on my website for the enjoyment of those who wants to go a little deeper into the world of Legacy.
