I voted for the mystery subplot, but really it’s a tie with humor.

Rather than/in addition to words ... how many pages ... authors think words; readers think pages ... or at least i do

Hi Katie, that's a good point. The reason I used words instead of pages is because when it comes to e-books, it's really hard to know how many pages something actually is.

Hi, it didn't let me correct my mistake - I subscribe to KU. There are times when I don't but in general I do. I accidentally clicked "no" though. As for the length, the longer the better, standard upwards is best. Usually I don't read books with less than 200 pages, though 250 fells better and I really love it when they have at least 350 and more.

Hi Irina! Thanks for voting! :) Sorry the poll thingy wouldn't let you correct your answer. My little poll function here comes a new-to-me app and I'm still getting used to it. I'll check to see if I put a setting wrong or something. Anyhoo, your vote correction is duly noted!

PS: Holy heck, sorry about all the typos in my answer. I just read it over again and saw them. Aaaand in addition to not letting you fix poll answers, my web host does not let us edit/fix typos in comments, apparently. Oy. Sorry about that. 7/25/2019 05:23:43 pm
Gaelen, concerned to hear about publishing houses current thinking but glad you are liking being an indie so much. So far getting books through Book Depository because Australia can be a bit problematic at times. Just about to get Duke of Shadows - looking forward to reading after having read the extract. Thanks for many hours of pure enjoyment, escapism and learning about the Regency period. Judith Barton

I just wanted a little bit of humor should also beca part of love. laughing with your special person makes things sometimes a better perspective. BTW I use Nook. I have worn a few out, but your books are on there , right now I'm re reading the Knight Miscellany series for the 5th time.

Hi Stephanie! Thanks for the input and also for reading my novels. (Yay!!) *g* I'm keeping Kindle Unlimited in mind. (That's why I wanted to find out if my readers are using it or not.) Since I've been around for so long, I have readers that use all the different e-book sources, so I could do that for new releases or I'd have a lot of people mad at me, but at some point, once the books are older, it would be nice (I agree) to at least do one or two of those 90-day periods that an author can put their books on Kindle Unlimited. I just wish it were up to me to do that with my titles before Moonlight Square. The publishers control the Knight Miscellany and the Inferno Club, etc. Clearly, I need to roll up my sleeves and WRITE A LOT MORE BOOKS!

For sure!, especially the older ones I would love love love to re-read but I work 12hr days and just like to get on my kindle or nook on my phone on my lunch break. Its way easier than lugging around books to work, but I will buy all my faves to physically have because you cant beat a full book shelf lol....although my husband would argue that since I have 4 with everything from your books, to history, to cookbooks, to odd and end ones like devil in the white city and the walking dead books.

You sound like a definite book addict, Stephanie, lol. (Funny, my husband says that same kind of stuff! What do THEY know, haha.) And omg 12-hour days! Yikes. Yes, much easier to keep your Kindle on hand than lugging books.

I especially like series where we get to experience supporting characters stories as they build throughout others. I really enjoy the details and having flawed characters instead of picture perfect people. Thanks so much for providing such great entertainment!

I really love all your books! Long or short! I enjoy reading a series as opposed to a stand alone book. Humor is always good! Its so nice to start laughing while reading a book. Getting lost in them is fun!

I voted "Adventure" as my favorite subplot but I really enjoy mystery and humor, as well. Which is why your books are a perfect read for me. Your stories bring a welcome blend of elements that keep me turning the pages until way past my bedtime. 😂
