Spin offs/Sequels/Prequels featuring characters from a book written by a different author

[RabbitMilitia]

Hi! I'm looking for recommendations for books that feature characters from other books written by a different author- for example- Cosette: The Sequel to Les Miserables or Ahab's Wife, or The Star-Gazer. Any genre/target audience age group is fine. Thanks so much!

The Kurtherian Gambit series is long (and silly, but fun). It’s written by Michael Anderle. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

… now where most authors say thanks and move on from overly invested fans suggesting, complaining or hyping their books, Michael seems to suggest that they write a spin off and he will fact check to fit into his world. There seems to be heaps of spin-off series floating around.

3013: series. Erotica, but the world and characters are great, and the first 10 or so books too. After that they still have great content, but the writing is completely crap and just focused on pumping out another ‘novella/wham bam done’.

It started with 3 writers (leapfrogging books), one of them left the group.

The Wide Sargasso Sea for the link. Click on "add book/author" on top of the comment box, and then type in the book's title. There may be multiple books with the same or similar titles to go through.
