Sword of the Amazon

Thanks, Ken. 

Long ago, when we were doing some of the initial work on this book, we were hoping to introduce this one to Amazon and other big retailers like BN and Kobo under a pen name, a pseudonym, and not "Wes Boyd writing as X X X", hoping to kickstart sales in the big-time with a new genre (this was long before Destiny). The trouble is that this sort of thing with the big retailers like the 'Zon is that a series is needed to maintain interest and sales in the brand. Wes simply couldn't come up with a sequel, even though he hinted at one with Missy Spangler there at the end. Better would have been something else totally different, another "unsuper" pseudosuperpower of some sort. We'd generated some possibilities, but what he was lacking was a real plot, the actual story line for a book. Someone with a talent needs to be able to use it,  preferably several times, and Sally managed initially with that breakthrough holdup on the way home from the fantasycon. Even if a sequel or two had been written, the plan was to very soon try and introduce Wes's other books, link the pen name to Wes, possibly with the "Wes writing as" as an intro. Wes died before any sequel was written. Didn't happen so we'll never know.

Not Wes
