As it happens, I've just done a "series" guest post for someone on an upcoming blog tour. So far, my Libby and Co have featured in 18 novels, one novella and three short stories. And I COMPLETELY agree with the last two comments. I am now scared to move away from them. I'm still not sure about writing a third in the Edwardian series - it all seems too much like hard work!Lesley Cookmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10699182779296799170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2681775564258628407.post-40151569280201504292017-09-18T05:38:29.645-07:002017-09-18T05:38:29.645-07:00Y'know, I wonder that about mine....got so use...Y'know, I wonder that about mine....got so used to the characters and genre, the thought of writing anything else is scary!Carol Hedgeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10359578624109905400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2681775564258628407.post-87012685336361793912017-09-18T01:33:50.548-07:002017-09-18T01:33:50.548-07:00I loved writing the trilogy; so much so I went on...I loved writing the trilogy; so much so I went on the write the prequel.

I intended on writing the trilogy and could plan accordingly. However, having just completed what I thought was a standalone, only to have several readers asking me when the sequel would be out has been a little unnerving. I just need to come up with a plot, now how hard could that be...Georgia Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08617952846902258246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2681775564258628407.post-70475923254721358022017-09-17T04:21:48.991-07:002017-09-17T04:21:48.991-07:00I know..and I am wondering whether Book 6 will be ...I know..and I am wondering whether Book 6 will be a bit different...Carol Hedgeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10359578624109905400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2681775564258628407.post-14913323103766023122017-09-17T02:41:53.576-07:002017-09-17T02:41:53.576-07:00As you know, I've a series of travel books, an...As you know, I've a series of travel books, and am beginning to review where I go with that. But I'm hugely fortunate - I'm not totally dependent on my writing for an income. So if I decide to change the format (or even the genre) and that upsets regular readers, well, we'll just have to get over it!JOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03127111575563904349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2681775564258628407.post-48403828412204384132017-09-17T00:23:46.366-07:002017-09-17T00:23:46.366-07:00There is a lot to be said for that ~ if you really...There is a lot to be said for that ~ if you really like a character, as in real life, you want to get to know them better!Carol Hedgeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10359578624109905400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2681775564258628407.post-79206479950302174012017-09-17T00:16:42.091-07:002017-09-17T00:16:42.091-07:00The nearest I've got to writing a series is my...The nearest I've got to writing a series is my occasional Woody's Cafe stories for The People's Friend.
