Why?

I don't read Stephen King because I don't do horror.  But almost twenty-five years ago, I found the book he wrote for his children; The Eyes of the Dragon.  It was very good but left you hanging because the younger son and his servant started pursuing the evil wizard, Flagg.  Obviously, book two in the works.  I eagerly waited for it.  And waited.  And w-a-i-t-e-d.  It never came.

Fast forward to the Dark Tower Series.  Someone gave Dad book one because the cover looked like a western.  Not even close.  He passed it on to me.  I liked it.  Got book two but didn't finish.  Couldn't get past the language.

Then I read an interview he did concerning the series.  He said Roland Deschain might not be the one to find the wizard and hinted at a young man and his servant who were also chasing this wizard.  Totally knew it was the younger son from the Eyes of the Dragon.  Don't know if that's what he did but UH!  Not cool!

So, I know what waiting for the next book is like.

Now to my writing.  The most asked question from those who have read Vendetta is 'why'.  To be honest, I wasn't sure.  I didn't actually settle on a reason for the villain's action until after the book was published.  In Ghostman, I introduced the Broker (main villain).  Witness gives more information about him.  Not sure which book will herald his demise but it's coming.

For all those wondering, Jim's story (already in the works) explains the 'why' from Vendetta.

And no, you won't have to wait twenty-five years for it.
