JoJo is adorable! Thank you for adopting him. All my dogs have been rescues as well. He looks like he may have some border collie in his DNA. Be prepared to be herded. 😉 BTW, I love the serials. Of course, it leads to frustration when I get to the end of each one and want to know what’s next. 😁 I’m looking forward to all the new books you plan on releasing this year. Have fun with your fur kids.

I'm glad you're enjoying the serials!

They said he has chihuahua and spaniel in him. He's only about 18-20" tall.

Had someone email me a comment - and I'm going to answer it here, because THIS is where comments should go, not emails - please. I get several hundred emails a day and it's easy to miss them.

The comment said: "serials belong to the 1950s, eg radio plays that ended on a cliffhanger for the next night's episode. I prefer a whole story, no cliffhangers."

Here's my reply:

That's your opinion. Serialization is hugely popular with venues like Vella, Radish, Ream, and many others. It's a great way for authors to make a little money while writing.

That is why we do this, readers. We write to get our stories out there - and make money. I'm on a disability income and this is the ONLY way I can afford to pay my bills.

Also, my stories often have cliffhangers. While the main story arc for that book will have an ending, if the book is part of a series, it will have a cliffhanger to lead into the next book.

I’m SO GLAD you have JoJo!!! He’s got some grieving to do, but has you and new furry buddies to help him through.

I’m sorry for not responding to the survey. I’ve been busy taking care of two very sick family members, so am behind on emails, miss getting sleep, and have fond memories of relaxing to read. I know I saw the emails about the serial, and had the thought that it would be completed before I get a chance to read the first paragraph. But it has given me something to look forward to, and I do recall the joys of serialization. I’m sitting here quietly in the hospital, first chance this week to actually read emails instead of deleting or filing for later. You’re making me happy. Thanks!

Thanks! I’m getting my husband out of the hospital, so I anticipate READING TIME! My brother has taken over for my stepmom’s care, so life is pretty good by comparison to the past few months. 😊 I’m heading out to reclaim my dog from friends next. I can almost taste the happy distraction of your words. 😋
