Into the Fire

As an author, I marvel at other authors who throw out multiple series novels. I've never been compelled to write a series even though I've seen the possibility for one or two with a couple of my books. All of mine are stand-alone stories – maybe that's why it's so difficult to write "The End" when it's finally time to do so. 

I will be reviewing a book soon that I must say is the most unusual "novel" I've ever read – and that's saying something. The Preface for the story sets the tone and in some ways says it all. Wow. 

Do you, as the reader of novels, prefer stand-alones or series novels? Or does it matter to you? 

Do you, as the reader of novels, have a drop-dead favorite? Or do you have a few favorites in each of the genres you've read? 

That's about it for this Monday's meanderings from an author . . . 

Father, thank you for your authors and stories, for inspiration and characters, for all the words . . . Apart from you, we can do nothing. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
