I just wanted to update you on the Ratha’s Island Twitter novelette. It is still running, and the response has been quite good. I have over 1,030 people following and many are reading the story. I have refined the technique a bit, trying to create micro-scenes of about 8-10 posts, ending with a post that draws readers on to the next. It seems to be working, as a number of people have made encouraging comments.

The entire story to date is archived at: http://forum.rathascourage.com/index.php?showtopic=156

Thanks!

I just wanted to thank Paul for announcing my Twitter tale. It is going to be an interesting experiment. Please join me on Twitter, Facebook and the archival pages.

Hi Chris,
I’m glad you enjoyed Jaguar Princess. The Ratha series is back in print from Firebird Books, and the new novel, Ratha’s Courage, is out from Imaginator Press.

A short story, “Bonechewer’s Legacy” has just been published in the Firebirds Soaring anthology, edited by Sharyn November.

Hi Maidenfine,

There are several authors running or who have run longer works of fiction on Twitter. Thanks for telling me about @stucuxi. I’ll be interested to see how she handles the Twitter medium.

@stucuxi is already doing this and started it last week. Though her novel isn’t connected to any sort of published series.

I hope both authors get a good response from their Twitter stories.

Oh wow. I really enjoyed her novel The Jaguar Princess and have always meant to read more of her work.

I suspect that now I just might have that chance.
