The entire time I'm thinking, why are they doing that? That's not how it left off. Where is so and so? Who is that? Then at the end of those first 3 chapters I realized I was thinking about the end of Nightshade and NOT the first book of the series I was reading about. There are things to be said about cliffhangers...I guess that's a good thing ;-)Jeanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11859158513374705186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3320387264034521574.post-49844996172936124052010-08-16T13:25:56.328-05:002010-08-16T13:25:56.328-05:00You're shameless, Cremer.

Jamie (of course you can...You guys rock! Thanks :)<br /><br />Jamie (of course you can call me AC ;P) NIGHTSHADE was a trilogy from the beginning - but I got lucky in that my agent (and later publisher) really loved it enough to invest in the books as a series from the get go. Most advice I've seen on querying as a debut author is that it's safer to write a stand alone that could become a series.Andrea Cremerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03326332737401772239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3320387264034521574.post-74508908978986032102010-08-16T08:23:40.904-05:002010-08-16T08:23:40.904-05:00Awesome cliffhanger, AC (I can call you that, righ...Awesome cliffhanger, AC (I can call you that, right? we're in that place?)! Can't wait for WOLFSBANE! Question...was the original, pre-agent version of NIGHTSHADE written with a cliffhanger leading into a trilogy, or did you write it as a stand-alone and it was later changed to a trilogy? Just curious how ideas for series are queried. Thanks for the great writing!Jamie Manninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12468645782406389500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3320387264034521574.post-47388772363052956042010-08-16T03:02:47.515-05:002010-08-16T03:02:47.515-05:00I tracked down an ARC of Nightshade and have staye...I tracked down an ARC of Nightshade and have stayed up all night reading--just finished, and holy crap, awesome. As cliffhangers go, I was pleased with this one. There was still the satisfaction of a completed story arc, and as you said in your post, it leaves us chomping at the bit for more. I read ARCS as often as I can because I'm so impatient for books I'm excited about to come out, but this was one of the first one that really lived up to its hype. So, so good!Heather Anastasiuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14974838585457441140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3320387264034521574.post-47545919526500488532010-08-16T01:32:28.455-05:002010-08-16T01:32:28.455-05:00Yes, I definitely have to agree on the cliffhanger...Yes, I definitely have to agree on the cliffhanger part when it comes to NIGHTSHADE (I won an ARC through a book blog last month and devoured it as soon as it arrived in the mail). . .but cliffhangers are great since they leave room for plenty of speculation. :D I would ask if WOLFSBANE has a cliffhanger as well, but I have a feeling you would just say, "You'll just have to wait and see!"Jillianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14847925009597588377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3320387264034521574.post-89389641595998479452010-08-16T01:11:05.117-05:002010-08-16T01:11:05.117-05:00Nightshade was amazing!
