I believe FACT is stranger than FICTION.
And often the BEST fiction is solidly founded in FACT. Hence my keen interest in the truth of Matrimonial Agencies, Matrimonial Personal Advertisements, and real-life stories of couples connected through the mail in the nineteenth Century.
The years 2015 and early 2016 showed a remarkable upsurge of SERIAL novels. SERIES have been around a long while in book format (and readers of western historical romance consistently ask for “related books”, e.g., tell us so-and-so’s story!). By comparing serials to TV episodes (and a year’s worth of a show), mentioning cliffhangers, installments, and various types of fiction, I ask: what is your preference–Series or Serials?
