I'll mourn the end, but I guess I always figured the author knows what they're doing - either they feel it's reached a logical conclusion or it's gone as far as they care to take it. I mourned Keri Arthur's Riley Jenson series, but Riley makes guest appearances in Keri's new series, so that's a plus.Barbara E.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10042665559975481397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57166953240040768.post-21036404877996750892013-04-19T18:08:49.803-04:002013-04-19T18:08:49.803-04:00My favorite of Julieanne's is Love According t...My favorite of Julieanne's is Love According to Lilyregencygirl01https://www.blogger.com/profile/07319337324420048712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57166953240040768.post-63948935502960532332013-04-19T15:00:59.511-04:002013-04-19T15:00:59.511-04:00I am always sad to see a series end if it is one I...I am always sad to see a series end if it is one I truly like.

My amazing readers have a lot of pull when it comes to these decisions. I listen carefully to all suggestions and requests :-). And i do love writing short stories so i suspect there will be more of those in the future.

Certainly, a series can get stale if an author (or publisher!) doesn't know when to end it. However, I think that, after some time has passed, that the author might be able to return to it with fresh ideas.

That made me very happy.

If it goes much higher [given the time it takes to write & publish], you almost need a synopsis to keep track of what has gone on before.
