side story breaking off from my main one about side character?

+0

Just a general question, but would anyone actually read a side story to my main novel about a side character?

He plays a big role in the story actually, but he doesn't get much recognition in the book because it would stray from the plot if I wrote him in with detail.

I would think so, but it depends on if he ends up dead in the main novel. If he survives, a "bonus chapter" after the main novel (I wouldn't call it an epilogue) could be "Alfred's Awesome African Adventure" or whatever. Especially if he is off the stage well before the end of the book, and you think readers like him. A good meal warrants a good dessert!
