I usually get hooked by a book in the series and go find the others. In writing series, I like revisiting the characters and setting I created. It always makes me feel as if I'm visiting old friends. I'm currently reading a book for review at a publisher's request. Just finished re-reading some of my favorite Susan Elizabeth Phillips novels.Joan Reeveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17622809465767116747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1625093777073151860.post-26066765530016684662013-08-21T10:02:51.069-05:002013-08-21T10:02:51.069-05:00Geri, I'm enjoying your Falcon Series and Cath...Geri, I'm enjoying your Falcon Series and Catheryn Cade's Hawaiian Heroes Series. And because readers do like series books, I've started a trilogy that is part of my Halsey Series. My readers want more Halseys and so they are getting three more.

You get entrenched with the characters and the people and places around them, so when you pick up the next book, you can jump right in, with a familiarity and a feeling of being with old friends. <br /><br />I do like a series where each book can stand alone, though. I think it's important for any new reader coming in to be able to grasp the things that have happened before with just a brief glimpse and then get immediately into the current time/situation/setting. <br /><br />Great post!Kathy Ivanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16440759802997389459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1625093777073151860.post-46450831024822990742013-08-20T19:18:23.983-05:002013-08-20T19:18:23.983-05:00Thank you ladies, for stopping by.Thank you ladies, for stopping by.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00515837783651276460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1625093777073151860.post-44575509930342841462013-08-20T19:06:20.162-05:002013-08-20T19:06:20.162-05:00Geri, I prefer series, both reading and writing. A...Geri, I prefer series, both reading and writing. A single title generally has a longer word count which affords the writer time to wrap up every thread the author strings through the story. Most series books are shorter and harder to achieve that. In writing my series, each book is a stand-alone story, but I know I can pick up different parts in the next book and the next to carry the common theme to the end of the series.

Right now I'm reading The Danger of Desire by Elizabeth Essex. It's very good!Lyn Hornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05596495172490672271noreply@blogger.com
