Deborah D. asked Sherryl Woods:

Do you know when you start a book whether it will be the foundation of a family and/or geographically centered series? I ask because a few of your 'singleton' novels I have read seem like they could have easily turned into at least a few additional stories, but they have not been...so far. Thank you for creating such interesting communities!

Sherryl Woods Deborah, for the most part, yes, I do plan for a trilogy of books or an ongoing series from the very beginning. A few series have gone on far longer than I initially planned, either because readers asked for a specific story or a character begged me (LOL) to tell his or her story. I have on a couple of occasions added a follow up to a book initially intended to stand along. For instance, years after writing Seaview Inn, I wrote Home to Seaview Key.
