The backstory, or in this case the five-year gap between books one and two, is a huge part of the plot of The Stone Giant, and I had a lot of fun dropping the various reveals into the story. I wanted the fates of the surviving characters from The Stone Man to form part of the mystery of The Empty Men for the reader…but I also knew I wanted to bring the survivors back for The Stone Giant once the new stakes were well established and answers were required (that, and I’m a sucker for a team-up). How do you get readers caught up on what happened in books one and two? How do you gauge when to introduce new antagonists and when to return to past ones?
Your latest novel, The Stone Giant, is book three of your Stone Man series.
