I'm sorry that there may be only one mor WOT book. I have complained about the padded nature of some of the later books, but I really liked book 11, and was hoping for at least a couple more. Besides, if the final book is really big, it could be broken up. After all, that's the way the Lord of the Rings was published. It was written as one long book but published as three.

Dave,

The reason why it's not considered part of the series by some is that it's
not numbered in the series by the publisher or the author. As I mentioned, 
I've heard it referred to as a prequel book to WOT.  I guess you can think
of it in terms of the Star Wars books. There's more than one series set in 
that universe, and I think New Spring was intended by Jordan and Tor as a
separate series containing three books.  I'd be surprised if Jordan writes
the other two now, though, because of his health. From what I've read, and 
from what Lea heard when she went to one of Jordan's book signings, it
sounds like he intends to only write one more WOT book, no matter how big it 
has to be to wrap things up.

Why wouldn't you consider it part of the Wheel of Time series?

Thanks, Gerald, I knew about New Spring, but I didn't think of it
because that wouldn't count as an out of order book because it isn't
really part of the Wheel of Time series.  It seemed as though Gene
was asking about books being submitted without the previous books in
the series being on Bookshare, and since New Spring isn't part of
the Wheel of Time series, it wouldn't count under that criteria so I
didn't think of it as actually being written out of order.

Evan,

The novella A New Spring was written between books 8 and 9 then turned

into

a novel which was released between books 10 and 11.  It's set 20 years
before the time of the first book.  Jordan had plans to write three of

what

I've heard referred to as the prequel books, but I don't know if he'll do
that now.

If you'd like more info, then look up Jordan on Wikipedia.

HTH

Robert Jordan wrote some of his series books out of order?  I am curious
about that.  Not disputing you, since I don't know that he didn't, just
would like to know the specifics. Are you talking about the Wheel of Time 
books, or the Conan books, or another series I haven't heard of?

Thanks.

Evan

Another one would be that the author wrote them out of order.  A few
authors where this comes to mind are Robert Jordan, Bernard Cornwell,
W.E.B. Griffin, Louis L'Amour, and many, many books in the Star Wars

saga.

Does that mean that someone who submits books out of sequence can't be a
perfectionist, or that they can be patient?

I just wondered, is all.

It is called,

1. What books are available to them.

most libraries don't have an entire series of books.

2. Maybe they read those earlier in the series from another accessible
source like Web Braille and NLS. but now they want to fill in where NLS 
has
stopped.

Ok, I don't understand this. This is not a criticism, just a matter of 
curiosity. But why do people submit books in the middle of a series if
bookshare doesn't have the  books previous to that one in the series?
Let's take sword of truth for instance. As far as I know, we have all

ten

books on there. But let's say we didn't.  MOst likely somebody would
submit
book 6 first, lol. WHat kind of thinking goes into that decision?

I have just submitted Nip, Tuck, Dead which is book 5
in the Pauline Sokol mystery series.

I know Bookshare does not have the first four books so
I will try to see about getting those as well.

They are really good mystery books, similar to the
Stephanie Plum books by Janet Evanovich. If you like
Ranger, you'll like Jagger.

Ex-nurse-turned-insurance fraud investigator Pauline
Sokol's willing to risk anything to put a bad doc out
of business even her best friend Goldie's near perfect
proboscis! Her cross-dressing compadre has agreed to
get his shnozz bobbed so Pauline can pose as his
private nurse and gain entry into Highcliff Manor-a
posh plastic surgery "spa" making an illegal killing
with their repeat clientele.
But when a super-rich "frequent flier" is unexpectedly
widowed-and a receptionist who knows too much is given
the boot . . . off a nearby cliff!- Pauline realizes
she's stuck her own nose into something really nasty.
Despite the pleasant distraction of the hunky Dr.
Neal-and the unexpected appearance of her sexy cohort,
Jagger-Pauline can't shake the feeling she's being
closely watched. And if she's not careful, she'll be
the next one who goes under the knife!
