If I were to restart my website/blog and start doing brief annotations of my first novel BLACKSTAFF to help readers ID where info and references came from, why I put something into play, etc, would anyone be interested in reading that at all?

Granted, the bulk of the references and necessary annotations would be in the latter third of the book, but I'd force myself to reread the novel and add in commentary and notes as I went to explain either my process or why someone or something got dropped in there. Perhaps might even elaborate on characters who'd only appeared in the novel and never since, like some tavern owners with their own relationship with the Blackstaff for one reason or other...
