What About Series
I once had a discussion with a friend about trilogies versus
series. She believed trilogies were series. I thought series should be beyond
three books. Though we never settled the argument, we did talk a lot about
series. One of my favorite authors has a long and wonderful series. There’s
another book due in this series in January and I did a pre-order for a lot of
money. I believe this is book 20 or maybe 21.
During the discussion, we discovered there are many kinds of
series. One type focuses on a group of friends and their lives. Many of these
are romances. My series Opposites in
Love and the Seduction series fall into this category.
Opposites in Love and Moonchild series fall into something
different. They have Astrological Signs as a foundation. Moonchild also has the
same large town or small city, not sure what it is. The use of Affinities in
the basis for the YA Series.
Murder and Tea all belong to the same character. So does the
YA fantasy series Affinities. But this is many of the characters as they grow
and come into their powers.
So series can be based on a single character and continuing
adventures. There are series placed on location. All taking place in the same
general area. There are series based on something like astrology, or other like
kind of subjects. The great thing about series is keeping them fresh and also
knowing when a series might end.
Now some questions I’d like you to give your opinion.
Are trilogies series?
What are your favorite kind of series?
Do you have a series to plug?
