Any chance you could post it someday? I always like to see my good taste corroborated ....<BR/><BR/>And what IS it with publishers wanting trilogies and series so darn bad? As a reader I'd rather see unpadded self-contained stand-alones followed, if warranted, by unpadded self-contained sequels (and I know I'm not alone on this). As a writer I would be horrified to be under contract to such pressure --- unless, of course, I already had all three books as good as written. You'd think that publishers would be more leery of encouraging fill, even if they believe they can sell more books that way. I think it can easily backfire on all concerned. If the reader gets fed up and the writer's reputation suffers, sales will eventually drop off.<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, there are a few writers who do the filling so delectably I'm happy to gobble it up even if it was just slathered in there to plump the wordcount.Erika Hamerquisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09721599229029331587noreply@blogger.com
