Actually, there are already nine books worth of the exploits of Tal and his friends.
That said, it is true that the series still has room for expansion. The first six books are YA and all take place within one school year. The last three are set ten or so years later. In between lies a considerable gap. If there were enough interest, I'd consider writing some short stories or a serial on Substack that deals with some of the events in that decade or so gap.
Meanwhile, I'll be teasing the other eight books in the series. Thanks to you, I'll explore some Substack expansions.
That's great! You might consider putting a link within the Subdstack story to buy the books, at least the book it belongs to. The info is probably on your website, but not everyone navigates over there. I want to do that, myself, on one of my completed books that I'm working on a serialized version. I'll have a Can't Wait & Want to Read the Whole Book button. (Something not as wordy, of course. HA) But I'd certainly buy a whole book, when available, after reading a couple of chapters and my binge need is triggered. :) Your plans to write the in-between period is great! I hope you do!
You've given me another important piece of information. At the end of the post, I had an invitation to visit the series page, from which a reader could buy the book being excerpted or any of the others. Perhaps I'm wrong, but I thought it was better to let a reader absorb the full excerpt. It's also for that reason that I've tended to put subscription appeals at the end rather than near the beginning. I didn't want to be too pushy, but maybe the sell is a little too soft. (Or maybe people reading in email lose that part to truncation, though I didn't think that this particular one was long enough for that to be a problem. Hmmm...)
Good point. Maybe I saw it and thought it was a regular subscription prompt and it didn't even register. The button needs to look differently or maybe a bolded, capped word or phrase that you add the link to it. Hmm... you've got me thinking, too! Thanks! It definitely has to look different than the subscribe buttons.
Wow! Loved this and can't wait to read more. Tal and his past-lives are a fun ride! More, please!
