I love anthologies/novellas as the key focus is (hopefully) the couple and their relationship.... luckily there isn't/shouldn't be too much room for anything else! btw, I'm looking out/hoping for e-versions of your latest books in pdf versions so that it works on my reader - no luck so far, grrr!

I like them because I get new authors I've never read or my favorites working together. But when the book is in a series it's tough because you may not know what's going on unless you've read the series to that point. I’m in agreement with you on anthologies.

It's an anthology, as most are. . . and it's a story from the same location with some of the same people from the series I just so happen to be reading right now (HelenKay Dimon's Hawaii ones, to be specific). And since I totally forgot about that, I was pretty excited to see it, since I'm on the third and newest release right now. There is only one anthology that I can think of, that I at least knew it was connected to another book or more, but it definitely didn't take away from the story. . . I haven't read any (short stories or full novels) that it was necessary to read any book before, but with anthologies, I think a plus with using already established characters is that it's a new to you author, and you like that sample, then you can go back to start hunting the previous books. :) Lois It’s funny that you mentioned this today. . . just went to the bookstore, got me a buttload of books, including the first couple of Christmas themed ones for the year.
