One of the horrible things about books is saying good-bye to beloved characters when the story ends. One of the great things about series is getting to spend time with those characters again and again.
There are a number of romance series that follow the love lives of siblings, cousins or friends. In those cases, each member of the group gets his or her own special story, but is also present in the stories of the others.
This is the case with the Orchard Hill series. With nine stories to fill, there was a lot of opportunity for cameo appearances and supporting roles. Some of the small town characters have known each other for a long time. The hero and heroine of Saving Gracie had been best friends since kindergarten. Some relationships were new. Entertaining Angel’s hero and heroine, Jeff and Angel, had never met but were connected by another person. Angel’s brother had been Jeff’s college roommate.
Pansy and Misty’s relationship is featured throughout the series. It was a challenge to show the growth and change of these women – always present but with only the beginning and end of each story devoted to their point of view.
There are entire chapters and even entire books devoted to developing characters but relatively little is said about developing relationships between the characters – other than developing the romance between the hero and heroine. I think this is an oversight. Relationships are as complex as the people who form them. Writers need to put thought into creating the ties that bind their characters.
Tomorrow is my last day at LASR. I’ll talk about life beyond Orchard Hill. I hope you’ll join me here. For more information on Orchard Hill please visit my website: http://sites.google.com/site/karalynnrussell/orchardhill

Weaving Common Threads Through a Series
Erectile dysfunction (ED) or impotence is levitra purchase the lowered male capability of the sexually stimulated man to attain a four hours election that makes him more intimacy. Until lately, the cialis online sale respitecaresa.org prevalent method to stopping hair loss was to make use of such chemical pharmaceuticals as Finasteride (marketed as Propecia) and Minoxidil. You can treat male impotence with Kamagra form that can be facilitated as: Kamagra tablets available in different strengths- 25mg, 50mg and 100mg, the medication should be checked and then on line cialis browse around description taken as the dose depends on person’s health and age. The male sexual organs Penis: Made of erectile tissue which causes the organ to become respitecaresa.org sildenafil tablets india hard (erect) when filled with blood.
A series can be a set of stories that have as little in common as a setting, like Kasey Michaels alliterative Regency romances (The Tenacious Miss Tamerlane, The Anonymous Miss Adams, etc.). All are romances set in the Regency time period and have alliterative titles but have little else in common. Many series, like the Nancy Drew books so many of us remember fondly from our childhoods, may have the same set of characters and the same plot types but anyone can pick one up from any place in the series and have an enjoyable read. There is no character development and the plots are completely separate.
Then there are ones like the Harry Potter series. The central characters pretty much remain the same throughout but the plot of each sequel builds on that of the book or books that came before. And the Harry Potter of The Sorcerer’s Stone is very different from the Harry Potter of The Deathly Hallows. The characters change and grow along the way.
Different series have different common elements that will determine how closely the books are tied together.
The Orchard Hill stories stand fairly well on their own, but there is a thread of plot that flows throughout the series.
The series started with a location – a small town much like my own.
Then I had a thought. Holiday stories are always fun. Why don’t I set each story around a holiday? The series takes place over one year’s time, with each story revolving around a holiday,from New Year’s to Christmas.
I started playing around with titles and found a pattern in the titles that I liked. It seems like titles should come last, or at least after the plot is constructed but for me, titles often come first. They inspire me to find a plot that fits them.
So I found my titles: Saving Gracie, Entertaining Angel, Considering Lily, Keeping Faith, Enduring Hope, Accepting Charity, Disrupting Harmony, Losing Patience and Finding Joy.
But it wasn’t until I met Pansy and Misty that the series really began to come together. Pansy and Misty are the matchmakers that decide to see who can make the most matches in a year’s time. It is the thread of their story that weaves through all the installments and ties the stories together, while also keeping each story separate.
I’ll talk more about Pansy and Misty and story arcs tomorrow. For more information on Orchard Hill please visit my website: http://sites.google.com/site/karalynnrussell/orchardhill
