The problem with doing so is that you have to sell the first book first — otherwise the next two books won't ever see the light of day. You can say that you see it as a trilogy, but do make sure that first is strong enough to carry a series.

If you envision your story to be a trilogy (for example) should you mention that in your query letter, or is that being a bit presumptuous?

Oops. I just realized I wrote "I love the idea" twice on my previous reply. Too bad I can't edit the first reply.

I wish my query was in there so I could know what's wrong with it. Oh well.

This is the first live blog I've read on your site. I love the idea. I love the idea and the insight into what you're looking to represent. Thank you.

Ashley – As for past lives, I have to admit, part of my feeling like I've seen this before is because I have an author who's got a past lives plotline in her WiP.

Otherwise, I don't feel like past lives are as "done" as guardian angels or vampires, for instance, but the point to bear in mind is that they are being written, and you need to make sure yours stand out for a good reason.

Hope that helps!
