Author's Notes

The Author's Notes are a set of notes included at the back of various volumes of The Life of Mocata, written by Frank Jenkins. The Notes reveal a number of behind-the-scenes details about the series, including the nature of the Reunion Project. The Notes describe the following concepts present in Jenkins' composition of the series:
 * The early work on the series in the form of the unfinished novel How Eerie It Is, which established the character of Edward Tamaron, as well as those of the unnamed writer, Allan, Hank, Ska, and The Predator. Including details from How Eerie in The Life of Mocata spawned the Reunion Project, which sought to combine the tremendous number of ideas and story-seeds Jenkins had created over the years into a single concrete narrative.
 * The references made in the names of each of Tamaron's hosts are explained.
 * The continued stories of Hippolyte Jason and Potato of the Boston Group are told. Apparently, Jason's soul was somehow not dispersed when he was possessed by Tamaron, and when Tamaron abandoned his body to possess the Homunculus of Akinos, Jason escaped from Tamaron's cult, fleeing to Australia, where he battled a witch. He later encountered Potato, who was living under the alias of "Potamus Tato". Potato had been living in Australia after being rescued from Antarctica in 1992 by a trio of skeletons. The Note does not reveal the reasoning behind the alterations made to the fates of these two characters, or why these extended stories do not appear in the text proper. Jason is also said to have been a character in three different films, including Spooky Skeleton Geckos from Outer Space, The Freaks from Hell, and Cultists of Frankenstein. Jenkins was an actor in at least the first of these films, and he claims that the plots of all of them were tied into the novels via the Reunion Project.
 * Francis Ghibourkei, from Yaubus Redford's Kuru; or, the Zombies is established as possibly having served as a host of Tamaron.
 * The Virginia Slasher was originally going to be revealed to be Colonel Sanders; this was cut due to absurdity.
