One of the most common comments I get from my beta reader and writing group is my foreshadowing. Sometimes good and some bad. I have yet to write a single book story so I consider any point in the installment fair game to drop hints. Sometimes I foreshadow in book one and the thing it hints about doesn't come along until book two or three. Been told I must only foreshadow in the same book as the event it hints at. Not sure if this is a hard set rule. Has anybody else written or read stories that foreshadow way in advance?
