Forgot to mention to my publisher and editor that Blue Heaven is the first book in a series. Luke’s #1 Rule is the second of that series. I have an idea for a third…so anyway I finally wrote to my editor today and told her about the series idea. For me, as a reader, I do not want to read series that are obvious. I don’t want mentions of people who are not integral to the plot. I don’t want allusions to incidents past. Not unless it fits in the book as a stand-alone.
Every book in my series must first be a stand-alone. Since it is the setting, not the main characters, that stays the same, I think it shouldn’t be too much of a problem doing this. But really, I can’t believe that little “series” idea completely slipped my mind until this morning when I was pondering revisions. I shot off an email to the very kind and patient editor (this is not my first email to her!) and await her verdict.

My editor (well if she approves the revisions and offers me a contract, she will be my editor) loved the series idea!!

She said I can send her Luke’s #1 Rule anytime! I’m going to wait for the contract for Blue Heaven, and that’s not happening until 2013. Our publisher closes down for holidays:)

Thanks Knitting Queen. I think the series is a “go” as long as I nail these revisions:)
