I would travel to Alsea, which is the setting for a series of books written by my favorite Author Fletcher DeLancey. She is an awesome writer and created world that defies description. If you haven't read the series you should.

I was sitting in on an author panel at Lone Star LesFic Festival a few years back and the topic was about the pros and cons of writing series. As I thought about my own feeling about them, I realized that although I liked series alright, I preferred a book to have some conclusion. Too many of them left me stranded at the end of the book, waiting umpty squat number of months for the next one, only to be left with yet another cliffhanger.
As I contemplated what kind of series would offer a definite ending but have something that would tie a series of books together I thought of the series my daughter loved as a youngster 'The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants' and bingo I got the idea of having a Mystic Meteor travel on to a new set of characters in each book with the help of a main spirit which turned out to be Amá sání, the grandmother spirit, from the first story.
I am already hard at work on the next book in the series and the meteorite is now in the hands of it's new owner. I'm a planner so I also have outlines for two more stories after the one I'm writing now, and ideas for a few more that will keep writing them as longs as the readers want them.
