Something to be said for multi-tasking, eh? We women were trained by generations of mothers managing multiple progeny of all different ages…

I’m amazed that you can write part one of one series, then part one of another, then a standalone, then embark on part one of yet another series, then back to writing parts two and three, two and three … well, maybe it’s because I’m male, I can only carry one thought in my head at a time … ;oP

Wow. You have had the most amazing ride through the world of publishing ...

As for what I feel?

Amazement. Affection. Disorientation. Bemusement.

Wow. Thanks for all that, Glenda. It makes me feel good that even a published author has books/partial books which somehow never made the cut. I had been meaning to ask about that, but thought it'd be rather rude to presume that you did have such works *grin*.

It also confirms my feeling that after having finished a stand-alone part 1 of a potential series, I'd be better off writing something else in preference to part 2. In fact, I think I might try a standalone prequel, which is set on a different world with only one shared character. I'm also doing a few kids books.

It's interesting to hear that you started the Mirage series before the other series was published. I suppose that is probably the best way to go, until get a sale. Unfortunately, sometimes you love the characters/word so much that you just can't help yourself ;-)
