Okay... have any of you ever read a book by an author and fell in love with the storytelling?
Then picked up another book, or books, only to discover that said author never really tries anything new - just repeats the same basic plotlines and characters with new names, and new places?
I have had this misfortune. And though I hate to say the name of the author, he is one who recently admitted his wife was co-author of most of his books, and has recently added her name to all of their newer books.
And it is a depressing, sinking feeling to realize that a story I loved was simply the only one this man had to tell, despite the number of volumes he has published.
It's positively depressing. Mr. E., I shall not by your books any more.
Now, to go out and try some books by ANOTHER new author I found...
