I think second books SHOULD be able to stand alone; they shouldn't require the first book to hook the reader.<br /><br />That said, I love this post, and I'm going to go and follow you on Twitter now. =)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5843069902682834773.post-53475643421719992382013-03-02T11:29:41.846-08:002013-03-02T11:29:41.846-08:00I thought it was just me, hating on book 2.

So there....which means, if I'm lucky, I'll get a 3 book deal. Right? Which also means, I should probably start figuring out a second book. Right? Damn.

I'm now following you, and I don't know why I wasn't before. <br /><br />I have, in fact, seen this problem in action, and as a YA writer I'm glad someone has called it to my attention so explicitly! *Adds plotting o' book 2 to her (already insane) revision schedule...*SFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05126306619182458823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5843069902682834773.post-67559043563512090902013-02-10T17:45:00.465-08:002013-02-10T17:45:00.465-08:00So I guess it's lucky I've written at leas...So I guess it's lucky I've written at least a draft of the first three books in the series?

You sound like a good crit partner to have... though I might be a little afraid of you, lol. <br /><br />I'm working on a book two right now in a series that isn't a series. But I went the other route, rather than mess up my HEA in book one, book two is in the same world with a new heroine. I hope I am not failing in any of the ways you mentioned! <br />Sarah Gagnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17103088338972947962noreply@blogger.com
