Thanks for the clarification. It makes sense to me. Given how many books are published every year avoiding a series book should be easy. Then again, being the hypocrite (human) I am, I go and nominate Guy Vanderhaege for the literary club when it is listed as the Frontier series. The only thing those books share is a theme of the West and no plot or characters.
