One of the best things about some software now is that you can note places, characters, etc. and keep everything straight while moving on.Cait Londonhttp://caitlondon.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30931389.post-84499148031506528672011-12-28T08:37:33.516-07:002011-12-28T08:37:33.516-07:00Very interesting topic Jonnie--all five of my roma...Very interesting topic Jonnie--all five of my romantic suspense novels have been stand-alone & when my publisher asked if the last (Artful Dodging: The Torpedo Factory Murders, to be released next year) was a series, I said NO! once the hero & heroine are united, what else is there to say? From your discussion I can see there are advantages & disadvantages to both types for the writer. Thanks for the post! MeredithM. S.

I like that as a reader as well as an author.

I've got two main series and a couple that I may not write more than 2 or 3, depending on sales and the Fickle Finger of Fate - LOL And YES, a new beginning is always exciting, my feelings exactly.<br /><br />Write on,<br />& Happy New Year,<br />JackieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30931389.post-79102798868319480722011-12-27T12:14:31.685-07:002011-12-27T12:14:31.685-07:00Hi, Jonnie,

This one is a stand alone as opposed to another series novel which I am working on now. I don't know which is more difficult, continuing a series and keeping it fresh or strating from scratch on an entirely new novel with new characters and setting. Good luck with the new release!Jacqueline Seewaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09177500620940251009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30931389.post-63304201741147690782011-12-27T09:31:24.287-07:002011-12-27T09:31:24.287-07:00Thank you.
