But at the time it was published, I didn't know Storm Chaser was going to be part of a series!Mark R Hunterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07685591390353442531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5858828969874855814.post-84407946760904113772016-05-07T17:32:26.162-04:002016-05-07T17:32:26.162-04:00You're right.

That being said, there are certain series that I became hooked on which FORCED me to be patient...although, I may not get back to them right away because I have been tempted away into other stories. A cliffhanger with no sequel in sight will definitely irk me and make me less inclined to return to the series if the next story is not very readily available.ELFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00507018016608103452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5858828969874855814.post-59462197380710885782016-05-07T09:47:26.567-04:002016-05-07T09:47:26.567-04:00ITA, Mark.

I end up going blind into a Book 1 most of the time.

If each book ends with a cliffhanger and/or unanswered questions, I'd rather wait until I have them all. In my Storm Chaser series, and other series I have in mind for the future, the individual novels are mostly self-contained and can be read as separate stories ... but that doesn't seem to be the style anymore.Mark R Hunterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07685591390353442531noreply@blogger.com
