A question on a short story I'm writing, as a prequel to the books. I also have a novella prequel, which I'll use to get people to sign up for my mailing list. But the story would be to direct people to the novels in the first place, and would be free, maybe on Bookfunnel. The question is this: do you think that if readers downloaded that short story, knowing full well that it was a prequel, but it ended with a set up to show that something else will happen in the future, would the readers be unhappy? The story as is is concluded, but they'd need to get the novel if they want to see what happens to the characters. Do you think it that just the fact it was done that way put people off buying the book? Or, if the story was entertaining enough, would they buy the book? Highly hypothetical, but I'm sure it's been done before, don't know if anyone here has experience with it as a strategy.
