Barbara, thank you for hosting me and giving me such a lovely posting. Marva, to answer your quandry: I originally planned on writing one series. But as I progressed through the YA version, I realized aspects of it were too mature for the entire audience I had in mind. At that point I divided the concept into two series. In order to keep readers from very early through the YA series, I have integrated a few different adventures into each series, redefined the characters somewhat but the antagonists and world remain the same. I am also writing Picture/Easy Reader books based on the babies of the cuter characters/creatures from the series. I want to catch 'em young. I have a posting on Jo Ramsey's blog in November that will be a conversation between Myrna and Zarena--comparing their journeys and feelings about the world.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07237200259560752610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-349886618037006192.post-36589626513413207102011-09-23T10:42:07.710-07:002011-09-23T10:42:07.710-07:00Hi Charlie.

I am going to go back and add that now.<br /><br />I hope Rebecca comes on to answer your question. I haven't read any of them yet, though Odessa is there on my TBR list.:)Barbara Ehrentreuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06317588534441254146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-349886618037006192.post-9871634204989715232011-09-22T12:37:47.003-07:002011-09-22T12:37:47.003-07:00I'd like to see a master pictorial geneaology ...I'd like to see a master pictorial geneaology of sorts between the two series, Stardust Warriors and Seraphym Wars.<br /><br />I jut finished Zarena, but I had previously read Odessa. Same world and bad guys, but I'm not sure if the two series are completely separate or should one read them all to get the full picture.<br /><br />I think it's such an incredibly rich universe it's like trying to decide between fudge brownies or carrot cake (my favs). Both desserts and sweet, but I really shouldn't have both. Unless, of course, it's a super special occasion.Cellophane Queenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08166797508899835493noreply@blogger.com
