When you're doing a series like this, you're constantly looking for new ways to excite your audience.

Making a series can sometimes feel like you're keeping a secret for months until it comes out; so when it finalizes in front of you, if you like the final product, it can be very exciting.

We writers of series fiction tend to idealize ourselves in our characters, giving them attributes we wish we possessed and ever more interesting lives.

I've discovered I love the vast landscape a series offers. I tend to write long anyway, so, it turns out, series gives me the perfect vehicle for writing 'large' stories.

There is nothing better than a really cool mystery: you don't know what's going to happen, so you keep turning those pages or watching that series.

It's sensational to be a part of a series that takes on a life of its own.

I've been really fortunate to go from series to series to series.

You're working with the same people, and there's a lot of recognition. I like to do series best. I really do.

When a series is doing well, it's very tempting to keep writing it, even when the creative well is drying up. It's tempting because that's where the money is. I've had to be very careful; as soon as I think I'm getting close to that dry well, I wrap the series up. I don't want to just keep writing something because it sells.
