And I'm not sure how desirable that would be from a nobody author (like me, for instance)... but would you pay extra for that stuff if it came from King? Rowling? Comley?
I'm not charging extra for it (it's free), but my debut book has "extras" in the form of an author afterword "deconstruction" (because that's kind of what I do on my blog), and character portraits and short histories of why I wrote them the way I did.
