I often reread the previous books just before the next book is due to release.<br /><br />As a writer, I enjoy writing related books, although it can be difficult to keep all the facts straight. I keep index cards on each character and on specific plot threads.<br /><br />Have fun with <i>Bridges Burned</i>. btw: Great title.

I looked for the sequel and read it eagerly, but this was a trilogy. I needed the third book. I looked for it everywhere. It wasn't on the market. I was so frustrated I never bought books by this author again although she was one of my favorites. That's why I avoid reading series and I don't write them...until now. I finally got to write a book as part of a series. But each book is a complete story. The only thing that makes the series is that three books will take place in the same setting, the same High Rise. I don't want my reader to face the same frustration I went through.Mona Riskhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14923883333893160794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588376429247025873.post-21108418350847650812012-08-13T10:14:29.662-04:002012-08-13T10:14:29.662-04:00I think it's difficult to write a sequel.

It is an affirmation of the characters you brought to life and the skill with which you created their world and told their story.

But when fans are asking for the book, it makes it all the more worthwhile!<br /><br />Good luck, Emma!Terry Spearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14788961423817944896noreply@blogger.com
