Just about the time I thought about putting together a Companion, Carol Malcolm, a longtime panel moderator at Cons, and a new (at the time) friend, was looking for some part-time work. Someone who could look at them with the eyes of a reader, of a fan, and who had a firm grasp of the genre. I wanted a reader, someone who liked Jane and Beast and who had a strong appreciation of them as separate characters.

Some writers get other writers or editors to help them. It is a look back, and ahead, at a long-running series, usually written in the middle of a series, and often, as in my case, there is a wonderful helper to put things together. There is no setting or tone or inciting event, no mystery to solve, and a nearly infinite way of gathering and looking at the information. So this is for you.Ī letter from Faith Hunter and Carol Malcolmįrom Faith-Dear Fans, a Companion guide, unlike a novel, has no particular format. To all the fans who love Jane Yellowrock and Beast, and who give me a chance to tell Jane’s tale, with all her faults, her weaknesses to grow through, her mistakes (we all make them, so a good character has to make them, right?), her friends, her family, her loves, her Beast.
