When I wrote Dark Elves I: Taken, I already knew what book two was going to be but I wasn’t sure what came after that. Now that I am an author, I can say for certain that it’s hard not to pick up those strands and go with them. The first book tells that first story but there’s almost always strands of other stories, characters with things to show, waiting for the author to pick them up and write about them. You get to see the world through one character’s viewpoint - okay, sometimes there are other characters too but work with me here - and there’s your introduction. There’s no way you could just visit for one book and never go there again. Such epic worlds! Even the ones that are close to reality. Didn’t seem worth it to me.Īs you can probably tell by my favorites, I was, and still am, a fan of fantasy and I don’t think there’s another genre that lends itself so well to multiple books. There was a time in my life that I wouldn’t bother to pick up a new book if it wasn’t at least part of a trilogy. Lately, my favorites include Laurel K Hamilton’s Anita Blake series, Ilona Andrews’ Kate Daniels books and Patricia Briggs’s Mercy Thompson. I also liked the classics, Tolkien and Frank Herbert. My very favorites - the ones that have stuck in my psyche through the years - were Mercedes Lackey’s Valdemar series and Melanie Rawn’s Dragon Prince series.
