The law of unintended consequences. Years ago, my son who was then in 6th grade, wrote a short story. I enjoyed it so much that I turned it into a novel. I then wrote a sequel at the request of the kids who read the original story.
In the sequel I named a character for a neighbor's 9-year-old girl and said she was boy crazy. When her mother read the story to her, she cried. She hated boys. I felt badly and asked what I might write about to make her smile. She said her daughter Eloise liked to fly in her dreams.
The next day I began Flying Girl, the first book of what would eventually be a 12-book serial called "Egg and the Hameggattic Sisterhood". I admit that I liked my characters so much that I decided to continue their story. Eight boxed sets containing thirty-seven books later and the story was finally over.
Well, there’s always a next generation. That led me to write the spin-off series "The Ministry of Superheroes and Scamps". This is the story of the children of my original heroine Egg (her initials).
I have completed another spin-off series titled "The Hameggattic Legacy". It is set a thousand years after the original stories. The first book entitled “Six” is now available. PLEASE NOTE: This third series is appropriate for a more mature audience than the first two. Why the change? It’s just where my creative juices took me. So, I apologize to fans of the first two series who might have to wait a few years to read this last one.
And, for anyone who might care, I'm halfway through the first book of a fourth (and definitely final) spin-off series entitled The Sisterhood Returns. The first book - Allura - should be available by mid-2023.
