Just finished my second sequel and submitted to my publisher. First set (SF) was only completed and released recently, while the second set (romantic suspense) won't hit the street until the fall. Here's my questions:
1. Do you enjoy writing sequels more or less than stand alone novels?
2. As a general rule, do your royalties fair better or worse with series vs stand alone.
I find that for myself, the writing experience is a bit more enjoyable for standalone projects because all the characters and the setting/background are brand new. Why'd I do them? At the request of the publisher. In terms of sales, the released series hasn't been out long enough to tell. Curious on any opinions.
