Finally reading The Lane Betrayal. I was hesitant to start a new series after finishing the Carson Chronicles. ( Camp Lake review coming soon) I got so attached to the family I felt like I was betraying them but I was hooked from the first chapter and enjoying getting to know this new family. Do you know when you start how a series will pan out or does it develop as you write?
John A. Heldt
Hi, Pam. The short answer is yes. When I begin a series, I generally know how it will develop. I definitely know how it will end. I work out the conclusion in advance to avoid painting myself into a corner. Then I exercise as much creativity as possible in getting from Point A to Point B.

Not a question, just gushing praise! As a fan of the time travel genre, whenever I start one of your book series, I can't put it down - I'm literally out of the world around me until I've finished. I'm currently reading Camp Lake. I feel as though I can't read fast enough, and get frustrated with The Carsons every time they miss an opportunity to reunite with their family. I so hope they do by the end of the book?
