Ilisha asked Leah Bobet:

why do you only write stand alone novels?

Leah Bobet I like 'em. :)

Okay, in a little more detail: A lot of the fun in writing a novel for me is building the world, meeting the characters, and seeing how they spark and bounce off each other. With stand-alones, I get to make a new world every book, and that's pretty great.

Which is not to say that if I kick up an idea that's naturally two or three books long, I'll ignore it. But I've yet to fall in love with a story that took more than one book to tell.
