I purchased Loose Ends  after reading an article Terri Reid wrote in Ditch The Publisher: 40 Indie Authors on Their Unique Self Publishing Journey , edited by Haley Sherman. I was very impressed with her article and her success in self-publishing and this series sounded like something I would love to read.
