I am currently stressing about one of my

The Scattered Stars Evasion trilogy is dear to my heart. They're my gay space dads with adopted troublemaker daughter dealing with random bullcrap books.

(Also I think my first out-and-out gay lead?)

There is one book left to finish the series.

But book two sold...poorly. 2023 is already a year where I'm finishing multiple series, which worries me.

So I can write this book, without which it's not a full trilogy...but which will sell about half to two-thirds what I figure a brand-new space opera will sell.

(OTOH, unlike a new book, this one will sell the first two)

Or...??? I suppose I *could* abandon the series, but I did end book two on a bit of a cliffhanger.

Plus *I* want to see how it ends.

So the plan is to write it. But...it's a concern.

(And one I wish I could ignore, given that I have two books to write first!)

Oh yeah - and the fact that my first series with a gay male lead is underperforming doesn't make me twitchy AT ALL *sigh*
