Oh, I love...OMG...The Bobbsey Twins and Nancy Drew. Oh, I loved those. I have the entire Donovan series by Elizabeth Lowell along with her Enchanted and Only series'. All so good. I love series too because I just don't want to say goodbye to the characters. The whole "breaking faith" with the readers by an author is just so bad. I've blogged about this myself, as you know. I just couldn't do such a thing to my characters or my readers. It's just so wrong.Regina Carlyslehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06316730032624449669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3468322635677076272.post-8549860705281277862008-06-04T15:24:00.000-04:002008-06-04T15:24:00.000-04:00Well, Anny, you are quite the reader of series. I ...Well, Anny, you are quite the reader of series. I read the Anne of Green Gable books when I was a teenager and my mother's Maxie Books for Girls series. I like series because I want to keep in touch with the characters as they get on with their lives. I hoped to write a follow-up story for two characters in my historical romance, A Very Difficult Man. His brother, Randal and the beautiful gypsy fortune teller will travel to Victoria, on Vancouver Island in 1854 to marry. It's a fascinating time in British Columbia. I must think about writing their story.Anita Birthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10579877218246605030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3468322635677076272.post-13258265567265119412008-06-04T14:57:00.000-04:002008-06-04T14:57:00.000-04:00I didn't know Trixie Belden continued!

Also read all my brothers' Hardy Boys books. Nancy Drew never did much for me--too girly or something. But I still love series. Once you fall in love with characters, it's so hard to let them go. But I'm with both of you. Gotta have the HEA. Series where the characters never quite get there are very popular now, but even when they're beautifully written, they leave me cold.Cindy Spencer Papehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01583236494759465431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3468322635677076272.post-76198294694396753122008-06-04T09:56:00.000-04:002008-06-04T09:56:00.000-04:00I also have Elizabeth Lowells and Diana Palmers......I also have Elizabeth Lowells and Diana Palmers...

I guess, although I do read single titles, I'm a series addict. ?when I fall in love with a set of characters I want to read more about them, about their friends, about their family. I want to know what happens after that first hot night, after the wedding, after the major crisis. I must confess that in addition to Iris Johansen, Elizabeth owell (love her Joe Faroe) and Karen Rose, I am a closet Diana Palmer addict and have every book she's ever written about Jacobsville, Texas (ssh, don't tell!). I think that's why your Flowers of Camelot appealed to me from the beginning. And of course, you have the required HEA. Without it, I cross the author of my list. And yes, I still believe in Santa Claus!Judith Rochellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13491165935158623960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3468322635677076272.post-91657952648216006222008-06-04T08:41:00.000-04:002008-06-04T08:41:00.000-04:00I love reading series and I'm glad you mentioned I...I love reading series and I'm glad you mentioned Iris Johansen. I think I have a few of her older books gathering dust somewhere :) I might have to hunt them down! I totally agree, if an author breaks her 'contract' and doesn't deliver on HEA, I'll likely put her (or him) on my don't read list.Katie Reushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18085461796363818906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3468322635677076272.post-78067762436061395522008-06-04T07:48:00.000-04:002008-06-04T07:48:00.000-04:00As you know, Anny, it looks like the Regency world...As you know, Anny, it looks like the Regency world I created in the Marriage series will continue in a bout of trilogies. I'm still thinking of keeping the names we discussed so that the women passing through the marriage books will be the companion trilogy and the men passing through the marriage books, the corinthian trilogy.<BR/><BR/>I suppose I'll figure out where to go from there.Phoenixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14947952583116323744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3468322635677076272.post-81950790380075747082008-06-04T04:09:00.000-04:002008-06-04T04:09:00.000-04:00I am not really sure if the people who continue on...I am not really sure if the people who continue on in my latest contracted EC books make it a series or just a bunch of people who just wandered in and stuck around...we'll seeAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12012768592941285677noreply@blogger.com
