Julie, I always hope new readers will enjoy their journey with my characters, but don't hesitate to email me with feedback good or bad - it all helps! <br /><br />No obligation to do that, of course - I don't believe in putting any pressure on readers, since most of us read to take a breather from our many "real life" obligations and requirements(smile).Joey W.

Denise Rossetti, a lovely and talented author from Queensland, really helped me with the Australian research - even tried to keep me from getting too carried away with the colorful colloquialisms (laughter). <br /><br />Since you noted liking the historical settings, I'll mention that one of the two vampire books I'm contracted to write in 2012 is likely to either go back to historical Australia (Alistair/Nina) or possibly delve into Scottish/British history (Niall/Evan/Alanna). That should be an intriguing journey. <br /><br />Thanks so much for the great compliments and for stopping by!

I have since collected them all. I like the ones with historical settings, the ones with Australian locals and the tough, hard men who submit to strong woman they love.

That&...Tanya, thank you for that wonderful comment. That's an excellent question - to be honest, I'm not sure I've ever really thought about it. While I write what the muse tells me to write, when a publisher is expecting another book in a series, it does somewhat regulate the creative flow in that direction, whereas a standalone can be purely inspired. <br />On the flip side, coming back o a world you've already created makes other things easier - you can concentrate more on the characters.<br /><br />A lot of times series are born not out of a plan, but because the author just likes the world and characters so much she wants to keep revisiting them! Similar to the reader perspective you described, where you're going back to visit familiar faces (smile). Since Bound by the Vampire Queen released, I've seen some comments that reflect that - people are enjoying coming back into Jacob and Lyssa's world and seeing what's been happening with them.<br /><br />I hope that answers the question - looking it over, I think I'm saying that the pros and cons balance on both series and standalones...and as long as the muse is involved, no matter what the story is, I'll enjoy the process of writing it (with the usual headaches over edits and such!).<br /><br />Hope you enjoy my work and thanks for giving it a try.Joey W Hillhttp://www.storywitch.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4120532555341624132.post-38622770956040479372011-12-09T15:34:45.254-05:002011-12-09T15:34:45.254-05:00How have I not read any of your books?

I see that you write stand alone books and series. I am curious, do you prefer one to the other? Is it easier to write a stand alone rather that a series? I enjoy reading series, I feel like I become part of a family and get to escape to a whole new world and get to meet everyone.Tanyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12816601597482316842noreply@blogger.com
