I'm a slow writer too, and always have been. A book a year for me was pushing it, when I was doing it, and probably helped contribute to my burn-out a few years back (still kind of recovering from that.)
So now I write at my own pace and don't worry about it. I think most readers, even if they get a little frustrated with waiting, understand the creative process works differently from one writer to the next. And it's not as if readers can't find plenty of other books to read while waiting. ATM, I have 123 books in my TBR pile, the majority added within the last year. I'm sure other folks have as many books, if not more, waiting to be read.
Strangely enough, I tend to avoid prolific authors when shopping. It's not about quality, perceived or actual, but that I want to read lots of different books by lots of different authors. Reading, for me, has become something of an adventure of discovery, but I can understand wanting to stick to the tried and true too.
