Across bookstores and the Web, book series have been immensely popular - across all genres. If you're wondering what makes a series of books so popular with both publishers and readers or desire to write a series of your own, listen to The Ins and Outs of Writing a Series.

Guest speaker and author Lauren Willig discusses what it is that makes series so attractive to both publishing houses and fans. Going element by element, she dissects what goes into different types of series, examining the various ways in which stories are linked together, with particular attention to the way series type differs by genre. She also discusses what you need to know to write an open-ended versus a close-ended series, and the pros and cons of each approach.

Among the different types of series she discusses are: family or friend-linked, thematically linked, geographically linked, single protagonist, changing story, or single protagonist, ongoing story. When you listen to this 92-minute online instructional video, you'll learn the definitions, pros and cons of each series type, and examples of popular book series from today's markets.

Once you've chosen the type of series you want to write, it's time to get into world-building and character development. Willig talks about ways in which you can turn your world into a place your readers want to return to again and again, whether it's an Alabama police station or a Regency ballroom. What is it that draws people in and keeps them there? Learn how to make your characters your readers' ongoing companions. Plus, she discusses character development for the long haul, creating characters who can grow and develop over time, and the art of managing a complex cast of ongoing characters and side characters.

Fits like a glove, looks like a million!
Size: Small, Color: Purple
Bought this as a gift for him and very impressed. Looks like a million dollars, fit true to size, looks tailored not cheap. Fabric is quality, stitching is done well and the pants have a nice hidden elastic extender that helps if he goes up or down a few pounds. Very impressed!

It was the perfect suit for our big day!
Size: X-Small, Color: Purple, Size: X-Small, Color: Purple
Purple size xs. He's 5'9" 145-150lbs. Very impressed with this suit. The color and pattern is awesome. The fit was good. I would say this suit runs large. Usually he wears a Medium in everything but ordered an XS and it fit very well. The pants were long we had to get those hemmed. There was a few stray strings by the end of the night in areas of the suit. But overall good quality. And for a great price.

We were excited and I wanted to like it but...
Size: X-Small, Color: Black, Size: X-Small, Color: Black
We ordered this for Prom and it was supposed to be a size small, which was available for Prime ordering, but had to settle for xsmall. The pants, fortunately fit well and just need to be hemmed, the vest is great and the jacket is snug. My son has broad shoulders and I was hesitant to buy the xsmall, but it does fit just right. The only thing he would need to do is unbutton the jacket while he is dancing and maybe take it off while seated and eating dinner before prom. The material is surprisingly nice and has weight to it. I was relieved it isn't flimsy. The overall look on my son is smooth and we love the pattern and the material has shine to it. I was not happy that right out of the package, the button to the jacket could potentially fall off during because it doesn't look securely sewed in. The side of the right side of the jacket has thread already coming apart. And I found a little snag in a different location. I'm really not happy about that. I posted photos so you can see what I mean. We were excited about this suit, but it's going back. The company needs to do better with quality control.

Very nice wallet
Color: Dark Coffee, Style: Modern
nice wallet. Nice finish on the leather that will age well. Plenty of room for credit cards, drivers license and a spare key. Thickness is just fine, on track with my last wallet. Well designed, comfortable in the pocket and should last a long time. I have a tendency to keep wallets for 10+ years so I'm sure this will make it
