For Nevermore Season 1

gave it a chance after originally skipping it, and they’re loving it as much as anything we’ve done. We think we can find enough readers who like our chili as much as our chocolate, and serve both without alienating the others.

    Sean: ForNevermore will absolutely find its audience, and the audience is arguably far larger than the Yesterday’s Gone audience. We’re not in a hurry. We started out marketing this all wrong, but that’s okay. Most of our marketing at this point comes from Amazon. The best way to spend our marketing minutes is to write more stories. We have a clearer idea of what the story is now, as well as our ideal reader. When Season Two comes out, we’ll be ready.

    Ray: How many seasons are you planning to make ForNevermore ?

    David: I’m not sure yet. It’s still too early in the story, and we’re allowing the story to tell itself to us as we go down its many twisted roads.

    Sean: I could see this running slightly longer than Yesterday’s Gone , both because the episodes themselves are shorter, and because the world seems larger. But I don’t think we’ll really know until we’re nearly finished with the next season, if not later.

    Ray: Do you know how the series will end, or do you wing it from episode to episode.

    David: One of the biggest problems I’ve noticed as a reader of long books and series is that at a certain point, the magic of discovery seems to fade. I hate that feeling and never want to inflict that on our readers.

    When we plot things too tightly, or too far in advance, we lose a bit of that sense of discovery. We knew the twist in the finale of Season One before we wrote the first sentence, but we left room to discover things as we went (like the centaur). Some elements of the story are clearer than others, but as for the ending of the series, no I don’t even know how it will end yet. And I like not knowing.

    Sean: I’ve no idea how the entire series will end, but I do like knowing how the seasons will end before they start. We knew a lot of ForNevermore’s final episode (of Season One) before we started writing, which helped to inform a lot of what we put together. But I don’t think there would have been nearly the same magic if we had plotted things out episode-by-episode before we started writing.

    If you enjoyed this story, or even if you kinda liked it, please LEAVE A REVIEW TODAY.

    WHY REVIEWS MATTER

    We hate begging you like an NPR pledge drive, but we’re new writers, still making our names. In today’s publishing world, with so many great writers out there trying to get noticed, reviews are one of the primary ways writers free themselves from obscurity.

    We would both write no matter what, even if we only had five readers.

    Dave wrote for years while working graveyard shifts at a gas station, dreaming of a day he’d have people wandering the worlds of his design. Sean spent 30 years sucking movies, books, and TV through a pop culture straw, thinking the entire time that he “could never do that” until the day he wondered if he could.

    We’re writers. We have stories to tell, and want to tell them to you forever.

    Our books are what we do when we get up to go to work each day. The better our books do, the better we do. The more we can write, and the more ambitious we can be.

    Will You Be a Part of Our 1%?

    Some people don’t realize how much it matters to a modern author.

    Some people have never left a review and have no idea what to say.
