On a web site Kaitlyn O’Connor mentioned that she was considering  doing a series based on the Beastmen of Ator but it would depend on readers’ response – well, here’s one reader’s response:Kaitlyn – you started out great.  Great world building, very descriptive narratives of what the characters are feeling and thinking, plus an original plot and then you blew it.  Unfortunately, this seems to be a current trend that the novel starts out strong and then it’s as if you run out of creativity or steam and it’s a rush to the finish just to get it over with.  This has happened in the last couple of books that I have purchased and then returned because I was so disappointed.  I know that you are capable of doing so much better because your Cyborg Series is one that I have read over and over along with some of your other older novels.Also, what happened to the “heat”?  The one really “love/sex” scene was really insipid.  After reading it, my immediate mental response was; “Really – that was really, really bad!”  It was as if you got  ways through the novel and realized that you forgot the sex scene and quickly threw one in with the bare mechanics and no real heat to finish up the book.  What happened to inspiring the reader to want to track down some aliens/cyborgs for some hot loving even if it was only in our dreams?My recommendation:Fired your current editor and find someone that will let you know when your endings are weak.Go back and read some of your own older novels in past series where you actually finished as strongly as you started.This would be a great series if you did a rewrite on the 1st one book - concentrating on greatly expanding the last two chapters to show the “heat” between the characters and develop their relationship more.  Use your creativity to arouse the reader with some real loving scenes – not just have the characters have sex.  Take your time doing the finish – don’t rush to just end the book.
