That question occurred to me, too.

But I was specifically thinking of series that had begun as stand alone books, and expanded into series when the publisher or the author saw an opportunity. In some cases, the concept could stretch to accommodate a series. In others, things are more problematic.

Most series books these days are planed to be series from the outset, though you can argue some have run out of gas and stalled.

What series can you think of that was planned to be a stand alone book, became a series, and is better for it?
