Good afternoon everyone.
Is there a unique or specialist method I can use to bring book one of a continuing story to a close?
The fictional world however will continue to turn in book two but perhaps from a different stand point and maybe with different characters.
I think good examples of this are Raymond. E. Fiest and Katherine Kerr sagas for switching characters and time periods between volumes. For cheesy cliffhangers and telegraphed sequels see Terry Goodkind.
