This is what I was wondering. I read the first novel "Pines" and have the second "Wayward" waiting. I found Mr. Wilson's book by accident when a similar novella by Blake Crouch "Alone" came up. I believe that Crouch "licensed" his town to Kindle Worlds (there are several serials there) and anyone is allowed to write about it. I was surprised to see that two know novelists that I really like decided to play in Mr. Crouch's town. Very interesting to see their take on it. (Again - this is all assuming that these stories are all actually interconnected - any answer from Mr. Wilson would be appreciated.)
yep. "The Widow Lindley" takes place between Pines and Wayward. Blake and I go way back and he asked me if I'd like to write a story set in his fictional world. I really like the novels and so I agreed. If you like my writing and like Blake's world, I think you'll love this story. (Wayward Pines will be a TV series starring Matt Dillon next year.)

Oops - your are right. Blake Crouch wrote the original novels Pines and Wayward. What I meant is I was surprised when I saw that Brett Battles (another author I like - his Cleaner series is great) wrote a novella called "Alone" in the Wayward Pines world. That is how I found about "The Widow Lindley".

These thriller writers have become downright incestuous...but in a good way. There seems to be a rallying cry amongst them and it appears as though they've become quite united in their efforts. I see it as a real positive personally.
I like the Cleaner books, at least the first three, as well.

Sorry. There's a reason it's called "Kindle Worlds." You can read Kindle stories on your computer. (Maybe if I ever do another collection, I'll be able to include "Lindley" but right now Amazon commissioned the story and they're in control for the time being.)
