Lustrousstone:
A small point of pedantry: how many parts are there, as
--- Quote ---a four book Trilogy
--- End quote ---
is impossible... Four parts would be a quadrilogy.
Anne:
Ahhhh but if it's good enough for Douglas Adams... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas_Adams ;)
Lustrousstone:
That's not uncommon, but they start off as trilogies that Topsy. And it doesn't answer the question.
Angela B:
Hi Christine and Anne,
There are four books in this Trilogy. I want to call it a Trilogy and not a Tetralogy nor a Quadrilogy, partly because I like the word and partly because its a bit eccentric and I always longed to be eccentric.
I just watched a youtube video of Carson Taite asking Lea Santos's why she called her four book series a trilogy and Lea explains: "because it's wrong, and that makes me happy".
And then there's this from Wikipedia: "Richard Wagner's epic series of operas, Der Ring des Nibelungen, is sometimes referred to as a trilogy even though it consists of four works: Das Rheingold, Die Walküre, Siegfried, and Götterdämmerung. The first work, Das Rheingold, is shorter than the other three, running a bit over 3 hours, while all the others are over five. "
And my first book is shorter than the other three.
Usually, as Christine says, a trilogy that has more than three books gets that way because more were added later - as in Isaac Asimov's Foundation trilogy, or Douglas Adam's Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.
I hope you can humour me and let me call our four books a Trilogy.
And most important of all, of course, please read the first book and let me know what you think.
All the very best
Angela

You can call it what you like, but people like to know what they're expecting ;D
