Two authors talk about writing book series

    Have you ever wondered how authors write a series of novels about the same characters in the same world? How do they keep the stories consistent yet fresh?  Sue Fagalde Lick and I will talk about these questions and more in an online discussion to be held Sunday, October 16 at 2 p.m. We have both written series - my Under Carico's Moons series has one book released, two coming out in the next few months, and a fourth in progress. Sue has just published Seal Rock Sound, a sequel to her novel Up Beaver Creek, and is working on a third book in the series.

 Sue’s novels Up Beaver Creek and Seal Rock Sound, both set on the central Oregon coast, follow the adventures of PD Soares, who has more troubles than she deserves. It’s bad enough that PD’s husband left her a childless widow at 42, but when she heads west from Montana to the Oregon coast to remake her life with a new name, a new look and a new determination to become a professional musician, things keep going wrong. Her cabin has problems and the landlord has disappeared. She’s running out of money, and her first music gig is a disaster. Is she doomed to be penniless and pitiful? Not if she can help it. But Mother Nature is about to throw her another curve.

    Lick, a longtime journalist in the San Francisco Bay Area, has published nonfiction books about Portuguese Americans, childlessness, and life on the Oregon coast, and two poetry chapbooks. A resident of South Beach, she is president of the Oregon Poetry Association. Her books are available at Amazon.com and wherever books are sold. Visit her website at https://www.suelick.com.
