Writing Short Stories to Extend the World of Your Novel

Recently, I wrote the short story, Clean Hands as an extension of my novel, The Darkness of the Womb. I actually got the idea from a recent Writer's Digest article on the subject of short stories. In the piece, it talked about how short stories are making a huge comeback on Amazon and how they can, in a way, expand your audience if you write enough of them.

Well, I'm trying my own hand at it with Clean Hands, which is a prequel to The Darkness of the Womb. What's great about writing short stories that connect to a novel is that you can expand the world and also potentially get people excited for the book that inspired it in the first place. And at 31 pages, it is short enough to read in a single sitting, which also makes it quite appealing. I will let you know if it works or not, but in the meantime, if you would like a copy of Clean Hands for review, please message me. I'd be happy to send you a one (even though it's only 99 cents) for an honest review. Stay excellent. Clean Hands by Richard B. Knight
