Hey guys,
So I've been meaning to ask this question for years. I've been incredibly... strange with my world as of late. I have too many ideas that I am simply not writing down or properly fleshing out on anything outside my own head.
But anyway, there is one problem I really need to fix. I'm in progress on two stories, and I already published one book... they all share at least one character (he is protagonist in two, and a main character in a third), but one of the books has little to do with the other in terms of story save for sharing a character.
And I'm probably going to write more that have nothing to do with other stories save for them being based in the same universe... how do I tie them together and inform potential buyers/fans that these books all share a similar world? It's sorta like the Dragonlance novels or Discworld series that could feature radically different settings and characters, but are clearly based in the same world.
What are your suggestions? Add something like 'Tales of Ordea' In the title? It doesn't really fit in with the theme of the dieselpunk fiction since it sounds too fantasy like. It is a fantasy, but it's not a conventional fantasy... like I said, it's a dieselpunk/fantasy hybrid.
