Scary readers
It takes months of writing to produce a novel of 160k words and having published it I was confident that the eighty percent finished second volume would be up nicely in time for the faster readers to transition across seamlessly.
Wrong.
Three days after purchasing it I had a reader moaning about not having volume two ready. A fortnight later he got his wish and I cracked on with the third and final volume having warned all it was not going to be out before autumn/fall (Nicely vague, just giving a season instead of a date.)
I thought he was unusual but an Australian serviceman in Afghanistan claims to have read both volume 1 and volume 2 in forty eight hours...haven't these chaps got some patrolling or stuff to do instead badgering the likes of me, who has a good 100k words to write yet? It is July and I am on the Valium already!
Anyone else have similar scary examples?
