I'm in the writing stage of my first book, which is to be the first of three books which are all part of, let's say, Trilogy A.

I'm planning on writing two more Trilogies (B and C) which all start and end at the same time as Trilogy A.

**My Question: Are there any tips for setting multiple Trilogies in the same timeline?**

* * *

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

Trilogy A must be read before B (and B before C) to allow the reader to fully understand the significance of events.

All Trilogies focus on different parts of my world but the main characters are related to each other.

The Trilogies all combine into a fourth (and final) Trilogy (D) where the main characters properly meet, so it's essential that the timelines match.
