  1. If you have written a series, where the later books are continuing the story (and not just another story in the same world), how much do you remind your readers what happened before? And do you do it all up front, like, a TV show "Previously on..." bit? Or weave it into the narrative...?

    The challenge is to give the reader enough context so the new story makes sense, without boring the dedicated reader who just finished the previous volume.

    What approach do you take?
