Others tie several stories by location, time or characters to create multiple texts. However, some authors also consider a cliff-hanger a way to bolster bookshelf sales. Books beyond what is considered a normal word number are separated into volumes for the sake of magnitude. Often the plot is too complex to be contained in a single tome, but usually it is a question of document size. They are multiples of the same…that are different.Īuthors choose to divide a single story into a series of books for various reasons. It grows from a simple story into an elaborate sequence of plots all tied together by a place, a time, a theme, an opinion, or a thread. In my third and last post (for now) on the work of self-published author, Patrick O’Scheen, I turn the blog over to the man himself for his thoughts and reflections on the art of series writing.
