Serious Series

One thing readers get squirrelly about are book series that are incomplete -- there's a legitimate concern that they don't want to invest time and emotional energy in an unfinished series.

I'm trying to solve for that with my WIP series, where I've cranked out the first three novels in it, with Book 4 waiting in the wings to be written, and Books 5-7 queued up.

My intention is to write the entire series to completion, so readers interested in it can know that I'm taking them on an action-adventure journey toward a destination.

I know that, as a reader, an unfinished series is annoying; ergo, I'm avoiding that. A new novel in this series will come out every year for the next seven years, and there it is.

My hope is that by writing through the entire series in one swoop, readers will have things to look forward to and knowing that I've done my part as a writer to deliver them.

Ideally, enough readers will be excited by Book 1 and they'll want more in the series. But even if not, it'll have been written and will be there for those who are interested in my work.
