Writing a Book Series? Useful Things To Consider From Author Helen Jones
By Lucy Mitchell
I love the idea of writing a book series. It’s on my writer’s bucket list. All I need to do is come up with an epic story, which could span several books. *Pained writer face*
Speaking of epic tales, have you read The Ambeth Chronicles by Helen Jones?
Oh my goodness I lost myself within these books. For days, whilst reading the first book, I imagined myself as Alma, the lead character, who finds a secret portal between two trees in a park and after travelling through it discovers she is prophesized to find the lost Regalia of the land of Ambeth and restore the balance of Light and Dark. On the second book, both Alma and I developed a huge crush on Deryck, Prince of the Dark and on the third book we were both trying to untangle the mystery surrounding her dead father, whilst at the same time having sleepless nights about that prophecy.
These books are fab. I struggled to put them down. They whisk you off to a beautiful and enchanting land. Perfect for a weekend binge read.
As Helen has just released book 4 in the Ambeth Chronicles and seeing how much I have enjoyed her book series, I knew she had to come on my blog to talk about writing a book series.
So, here she is, the amazing Helen Jones!
When Lucy asked me to contribute a post about writing a series, my first thought was ‘save yourself the grey hairs and don’t do it!’ (series writing, rather than guest posts).
Which, perhaps, is a little unfair. Certainly there are aspects to writing a series that can cause hair changes (rumpling, greying, pulling out) but, with a little bit of planning, these can mostly be avoided.
What’s that you say? Planning? I. . .
