		<description>It doesn&#039;t always have to do with greed :).  Sometimes that&#039;s the way the story comes out.  

For example, Magic Bites originally was a quarter longer.  I had to chop it to get it under world limit, but it could&#039;ve gone the other way.  It could&#039;ve been that if the book was significantly longer, like 140K for example, the editor could&#039;ve said, &quot;Put another 40K in and we&#039;ll split it in two.&quot;  I would&#039;ve done it.  It was our first contract - I would&#039;ve stood on my ears, if they asked.

It&#039;s hard to bring the book to a satisfying conclusion and still give people that, &quot;I can&#039;t wait to see what happens next!&quot; feeling.  I know that I personally have to work very, very hard on it.</description>

		<description>I was going on a long car trip, and needed a book on tape.  Found &quot;Magic Bites&quot; on Amazon.com.  Hmm, vampires.  Okay, looking for entertainment to make the miles go away faster.  Got really hooked.  Got home and had 2 weeks before next long car trip. Quickly ordered &quot;Magic Burns&quot; on tape. Got even more hooked on that trip.  Got home, and IMMEDIATELY bought &quot;Magic Strikes&quot;.  I&#039;m loving this series.  Only problem:  having to wait for the next book.
Now, I&#039;m devouring this genre from the library; and have a major rant: authors who do not finish the story in one book. You get into the story, the book ends, and you are left hanging - so they can sell another book or 3 or 4!  That infuriates me!  I will NEVER buy a book by an author who does that!  There are 2 who come to mind right now; and I&#039;m boycotting them, and spreading the word.
It makes it look like they are only capable of writing one book; but chop it up into several books to make money.  That just looks greedy.  Surely I can&#039;t be the only one who gets angry with this!</description>
