The story behind "Love In Death" is one of experimentation. Not only is it the first long-form piece of erotic romance fiction I have written, but how I chose to release the book was an experiment in itself.Rather than writing a complete novel as you now see here, I decided to release "Love In Death" in a series of six installments over the course of several months.This isn't exactly a unique delivery system. Novels have been serialized in periodicals for hundreds of years. In fact, in the early 1800s, Charles Dickens was instrumental in demonstrating that serialized fiction was a viable format. Also noteworthy, French author Alexandre Dumas was famous for serializing his classic novels "The Three Musketeers" and "The Count of Monte Cristo." Beyond publication in existing periodicals, short volumes of chapbooks were also quite popular, though their actual publication has all but disappeared.I tried to do my part in bringing back the chapbook, at least for the digital medium. "Love In Death" was published over the course of about nine months with a new volume becoming available approximately every six weeks. It was an interesting experiment in digital publishing with a certain degree of success.Now that the full story of Allison Pratt and Xander Reese has been told, I have collected all six chapbooks into one novel-length volume, which you hold in your hands. This formatting of the overall story explains why the book has essentially only six chapters with multiple scene breaks throughout. It also explains some significant time passing for the characters from part to part.The text is the same as the originally published volumes, aside from a few minor edits to improve the continuous flow between segments. So if you already have the previous published versions, you are in good shape. However, if you still are missing a couple parts of the story, they are here available to you for an inclusive price.Either way, I thank you for your patronage, and I invite you to experience Allison and Xander's love story.----------"Love In Death" compiles all six parts of Elizabeth Stokes' serialized erotic romance: "Death's Embrace," "Death's Beloved," "Death's Unveiling," "Death's Heartbreak," "Death's Desire," and "Death's Passion."
