Series Clutter

I have too many characters, and more, I have too many little stories in the Heart series, so when I refer back to something, avid readers (and moi) would remember that, others and new readers might go "huh." So.

I've decided to see if I can cut much/most of the references to other books. I KNOW people like them, but it might be one of those things that some believe my books from being stand alone. You do NOT need to know the entire history of everyone to enjoy the book.

Since I've put a good amount of stuff like this in Heart Fate, that means cutting when I put it together and do a good read through.

I'm sure you all will let me know if this is an idea that works for you.
May new ideas come to you today.
