It seems like every book I read lately ends in some sort of cliffhanger begging me to read on... what happened to ending a book and moving on to the next one? Is it just the YA genre in general... or is this happening in other genre's as well? as an aside… the BEST iPhone app ever is balloonanimals

I am so intrigued by this series thing. It seems like every book I read lately ends in some sort of cliffhanger begging me to read on… what happened to ending a book and moving on to the next one? Is it just the YA genre in general… or is this happening in other genre's as well?

But any new books to supersede the titles specified in the contract would need to be mutually agreed upon by both the author and the publisher.

Both sides need to agree. They might, Liana. But any new books to supersede the titles specified in the contract would need to be mutually agreed upon by both the author and the publisher.
