wish i'd thought of that...

via Foreword, a new site for the bookmarks: Backstory, whose first entry features Katherine Neville, author of The Eight. Sounds very interesting, and apparently they've gotten a phenomenal amount of authors coming forward to dish out the scoops behind the plots of their masterworks. A "Behind the Novel," if you will. Very cool.

On a side note, Neville's personal website indicates that she's working on a sequel to The Eight. Not that I don't love Solarin (he made my crush list) but everything was pretty tight at the end of the novel. No loose ends, no lingering questions. It just seems as if she's trying to capitalize again on her biggest critical and financial success. Could be wrong, who knows. I suppose we'll just have to wait and see.
