New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Estep continues her Write Your Own Cake series with an essay about creating and authoring a long book series. Estep is the author of more than 50 fantasy and science-fiction books, including the long-running Elemental Assassin urban fantasy series.
Writing a book is hard. But writing book after book with the same characters and settings? Well, that is even harder.
Whether you are penning epic fantasy adventures, pulse-pounding thrillers, or swoon-worthy romances, writing a book series comes with its own unique challenges. This essay offers some tips and tricks for setting up your initial worldbuilding and magic system in anticipation of writing multiple books in the same series. It also offers suggestions on characters, tropes, and more that can help keep an ongoing book series fresh and interesting for both authors and readers.

Question: Can you share your book/release schedule for 2025?
Answer: Of course! Here is my tentative schedule. Please keep in mind that some of these dates might change due to various publishing whims:
Oct. 14 — Only Rogue Actions: This is a short book (about 52,000 words) about Vesper Quill and Kyrion Caldaren. This is book #5 in my Galactic Bonds science-fiction fantasy romance series, which I often describe as “Star Wars meets Bridgerton“. If you like space operas, then you might enjoy this series.What books are you looking forward to reading this year? Thanks for reading! 😎Â
