CLOAK GAMES and time in fiction
A minor bit of trivia today – I was working on laying out the print version of CLOAK GAMES: REBEL FIST this morning, and I noticed that the entire book has only 3 scene breaks.
Which makes sense, because all but the last scene of the book takes place over a single day (a very bad day for Nadia), and it’s entirely from the perspective of Nadia.
It’s interesting to think about the flexibility of the novel as a storytelling form – it can cover a single day, or thousands of years.
No matter the length of the span of time, the trick, as ever, is to skip the boring parts. People skip those anyway, so it’s more efficient just not to write them. 🙂

Hi jonathan not sure if you can do or say anything about it but i am currently re-reading the ghost series and every time i go in to i books it starts from the very beginning of the book each time rather than the last bookmark,
It doesnt do it with any other books just the ghost series
I’ve actually had that happen myself! I bought some books off Smashwords and sideloaded them onto a Kindle Fire, and it lost the location when I closed the book.
Let me know if you figure it out. I never managed to, alas. 🙂
It seems to be since the change where all the ghost series is all together in one section
