Owh and my first question: Is it necessary to read the first one first or can I just start off reading SIB?

oo, good question I was wondering that too. I have this horrible problem with never being able to get into sequels no matter how much I loved the first one. I don't know why? I'm psycho. so, my question would be, just in case I only can ever read one, which would you recommend?
Teri:
Somewhere I Belong, most definitely, lol ask Tri she's like my lil cheerleader hehe, so for her to read both stories and the 14 chapters i have posted of AS so far within the span of less than a week when normally she doesn't really get into series' so much is saying somethign I guess BUT I wrote each story with the intention of paralleling each other HOWEVER letting them stand apart from one another in their style and subject matter, AS is most definitely going to be the darkest one to write for me next to the prequels I have planned (two in fact lol). You can always do it star wars style like I'm doing and read the later story in SWIB and always go back to AIL. I like to provide a good solid stand alone story in each let's say volume of the series. Hence why I've been having so much trouble with KDL the Aaron spin-off.
Teri:
wow I ramble! LOL but yeah it's why I'm so happy that SWIB got chosen to be featured story, because it can stand apart from it's predecessor (and I'm quite proud of it!)
Tri:
As a reader, I'll answer the question Teri already did as far as reading SWIB before AIL. I feel that they're definitely stand alone stories because Teri does a great job of providing references to events that took place in Accidentally In Love.
And, honestly, if you DO decide to read the whole series, it goes by a lot faster than you'd think. Teri knows that it took me FOREVER to actually sit down and start reading because I was thinking, "Oh God... A whole series?!" But it went by SO quickly because it was so intriguing and kept me wondering what was coming after every chapter.
mare:
Wow it's only the first of the month and you're already on the second page lol
I have a question for you :)
Did you always intend to write a sequel for Accidentally in Love or did that evolve some other way?
