[stylist] Ending on a cliff hanger

[Angela fowler]

Oh man, those cliff-hangers! They have a definite appeal. I'd leave it as it
is.
	When I read those cliff-hangers, I can't wait to get my hands on the
second book, and if I can't, I just won't be satisfied. I'm not sure what
the psychology is, although it should probably be apparent to me (its been a
long week at school) but you develop a kind of relationship with your
readers that you don't if you have the entire story in one book.

Subject: [stylist] Ending on a cliff hanger

I devided 'A Deafblind girl' into two seperate novels. As it stands the book
ends on a cliff hanger.
Nadia's mother is at large although she is wanted by the police.
In part 2 of the book she eventually gets caught. (part 2 is going to be a
seperate book).

I'm wondering if I should leave things as they are or bring the capture
forward?
What do you think?

Helene
