I had dozens of&nbsp;dramatic scenes bouncing around my head, but these two alternate endings just didn&#8217;t fit into the final plot or fit with the characters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At one point early on in writing the book I imagined that after Callie witnessed Levi nearly murder Roman she would run away, back to her island paradise. I loved the idea of Roman following her into the unknown. I adored their reunion in the splashing surf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the more I thought about it, the less I liked Callie abandoning Roman. The poor guy had been left behind by everyone he&#8217;d ever cared about. If Callie truly loved him, she wouldn&#8217;t leave him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, I re-wrote the end. Callie still left, but had a change of heart and returned to share a romantic reunion at the wall around the heart of Washington DC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But it still bothered me that Callie abandoned Roman. So, though their meeting at the wall was terribly dramatic, I had to start from scratch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I won&#8217;t spoil the final ending in the published version, but if you&#8217;ve read <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B01FOKFCTO\/?tag=annabnwor-20\"><em>Remedy<\/em><\/a>, I hope you enjoy seeing how things might have ended up differently for Callie and Roman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/annaabner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Remedy-Alternate-Ending-1.pdf\">Remedy Alternate Ending #1<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/annaabner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Remedy-Alternate-Ending-2.pdf\">Remedy Alternate Ending #2<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"has-text-align-right wp-block-heading\">Vampires, Shifters, and Cheap Books: Sign Up For My Monthly <a title=\"Newsletter Sign Up\" href=\"http:\/\/annaabner.us7.list-manage.com\/subscribe?u=6dd07ad403e6fc06fc2f8db7d&amp;id=f3de6d652f\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Newsletter<\/a> Today.<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\"><em>&lt;3 Anna<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Or, Really Fun Ideas That Make Little Sense It was so fun to write Remedy.
