Story Behind The Book
While writing Reading The Dead: Fidelis In Aeternum, I knew in the back of my mind that I wanted to present a pivotal scene, that of the arrest of Harry Sands, the Fancy Dress Killer, from the perspective of Sarah's invisible sidekick, Anna Nigma.
I wrote the first story in this book, "Anna's Brush With Life" before I even completed the second draft of the book itself. It ties in with the events you'll find in the book, but from the unique perspective of the ghost tagging along. Considering how important her presence ultimately was, I think seeing both sides of the coin really adds a lot to the full story.
The second and longer tale, "Happily Ever Afterlife," came from my editor's insistence that I needed to show the wedding ceremony of Sarah's father. I wasn't keen on the idea of sidetracking events of the book too significantly with this, until it occurred to me that it presented a fabulous opportunity to write a "Home Alone"-style comedy adventure with Anna Nigma squaring off against a pair of hapless would-be robbers.
Both tales are enjoyable on their own, but as a companion novella to the events in Fidelis In Aeternum, I think the two books perfectly compliment one another. I hope you'll agree!
