Why We Fall in Love with Book Series

In case you missed my book blog tour from last week, for the next few days, I'm resharing the blog posts I wrote on those guest stops, so everyone can get to know a little more about Redford Falls.

This post was originally on Lyndi's Adventurous Friends.

Why we fall in love with book series…

and why we never want them to end.

A standalone novel can sweep you away for a few hours, but a series gives you a deeper connection. There’s something magical about opening the first book in a series. You think you’re stepping into a story, but before long, you realize you’ve stepped into a world. A well-crafted series doesn’t just entertain. It invites you to stay awhile.

My own series, Redford Falls, was born from connection and community. Set in a charming small town, the series includes seven books. Each story follows different characters whose lives intertwine in unexpected and heartfelt ways. While every book stands on its own, together they form a tapestry of relationships, second chances, and the kind of small-town magic that keeps readers returning.

Inspirations in the Small Things

Some days don’t begin with fireworks. They start quietly. The sunshine through the window, the warmth of a mug in your hands, or the familiar beat of a favorite song. These are the moments we often rush past, but they’re also the ones with the power to shift the tone of an entire day.

Inspiration doesn’t always arrive as a grand idea or a bold revelation. More often, it hides in the small things. The unexpected kindness of a stranger, the color of the sky just before the sun fully rises, or the way a breeze carries the scent of flowers. When we pause long enough to notice them, these tiny details become reminders that joy doesn’t need to be chased.

Take a small moment to let your inspiration come from what’s already around you. Look for the detail you would normally miss. Let it brighten your morning, soften your afternoon, or spark a thought that carries you forward. Sometimes the smallest moment is the one that changes everything.
