When I began my current release, it started out as a stand-alone, but I fell in love with the secondary characters and a trilogy was born. So I total appreciate how your story became a series. I want to read this series. When characters grow on you, it's wonderful to meet up with them time and again.Elizabeth Clementshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16553904624219542353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1409887812566625284.post-16751935794978795672018-05-07T16:14:27.577-05:002018-05-07T16:14:27.577-05:00Thank you Gordo.

It used to be many publishers didn't like series until an author was proven to be popular. Now they like for authors to have a series in mind. Readers today often want a series if they like the story and characters, especially since e-nooks are lower cost than paperback. Even if you have just single book they often ask, is there a series in there?

I love when a character just has so much story to tell and finds the author to tell the story. <br /><br />I've not written a series, but I don't like to say never. I do have a collection of stories set in an area, but...<br /><br />All the best and I look forward to the next in this series. You are correct, it is a wonderful experience working with Cheryl and Livia. They have been very supportive of my career and I can't thank them enough.

I have turned a short story into a novel, so I do understand that lengthening process, but to create a series, keep the action up in each book, and write a satisfying ending to each story while at the same time carrying it on to the next book is something I am not sure I could do. Great post, and food for thought!Cheryl Piersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18116526340220274282noreply@blogger.com
