Jane
Jane is the only character to have appeared in all of the Unbroken Circle books to date. In The Black Chamber she was the bank president's secretary and in Too Late she was the waitress that brought Alderman Hannigan his water. I'm bringing her in as a full-fledged character now in Too Soon and her part of the story is going to be a major one, although you can't see it yet. This was something I picked up from The Wire, where every character introduced eventually plays a major part.
As these books continue to come out you'll see more and more how they're interconnected. For instance, earlier in Too Soon when the bank guard and employee talk about Vinnie? That's the Vinnie from Batesville. The Marilyn that Jane walks by in the hallway? Also from Batesville. There'll be another Batesville resident showing up later as well. In the pages of Batesville, there's already been a hidden reference to Eddie Mann. Dunno if anyone caught that yet. There's also going to be a reference to Black Chamber.
At first it's going to be small nods here and there, but it all is definitely leading to a conclusion. The book after Too Soon will give you a glimmer of that.
The art on this installment is different for a reason, by the way. I'm not telling you the reason though. You'll just have to see it unfold as her story unfolds.
