Hey Crowl, that's a really good point. The first book in the series is (in my mind, too, at least) something of a loss leader. It introduces the characters and hopefully interests readers enough that when the second one comes out, they're excited to find out what's next. But it's almost like they're afraid of being too business-minded. They hate the thought of valuing one book more or less than another. On the one hand, good for them. On the other, come on - of course this is business!
Thanks for your weigh-in/support.
