Thoughts on Completing a Series

As of June 2026, The Chronicles of Talahm is a complete 4-book series (quartet). It took eight years to write, and almost five to publish, but here are my main lessons learned from the self-publishing process. What you can expect to learn: • How it feels to complete the series • Managing a series arc • Skill increases across the books • Lessons from series data (because why wouldn't I have data?) • Whether I miss the characters • Plans for future books • How much it cost to publish books 1-4 👀 Send us Fan Mail (https://www.buzzsprout.com/2133745/fa...)
