Your statement "It’s difficult emotionally for me to say goodbye to Cat and Bones. They’ve lived in my head for over a decade, and closing the chapter on them feels like bidding farewell to very old, very good friends. In addition to the emotional angle, there’s a financial one. Each new book in the Night Huntress series has a built-in fan base that nets me damn good money, and I like money. A lot. But not enough to milk my readers over a story I don’t believe in. As an author, I have no control over whether readers love my books, like them, feel ambivalent, or hate them, but I do have control over choosing to only write stories that I love. To me, that’s a far more important promise to keep", is the primary reason why I love your books. Some authors, who shall remain anonymous, would have attempted to milk those characters for all their worth... Thanks for having some artistic integrity... I wish that more authors were like that..
Sorry The Night Huntress series has ended, but I know I'll enjoy the others.
I'm rereading in anticipation of the fourth a night Prince book...still haven't read Up From the Grave because I haven't been ready to say goodbye to Cat and Bones. Now, however, I know it's time. Besides, Ian and Veritas, and Tate and Juan...and and and...can all get books as well. Right? There might even be a time when Bones pops into Ms Frost's brain "'Allo, Luv. Fancy another go with Cat and Me?"
