But I guess I wonder, does it really make all that much difference if it’s only 10 days before? Doing it 30 days out did have a significant financial impact, so I’m not eager to try that again. Usually my turn around time is so tight (a book out about every two months) I don’t feel comfortable giving a solid date until I get it back from my chief editor and then I know how much time it takes me to complete the process. The only way I could provide a set release day earlier is to pad the date significantly and that leads to it coming out later, which seems to be unpopular. For example, I was guesstimating this book would be out around Sept 20th or later, but it’s looking like Sept. 9th instead. I know how busy you are with your schedule, so go ahead and pencil me in where you can. :)

Meeks Tue, 02 Sep 2014 12:06:25 +0000 http://www.lisaolsen.net/?p=979#comment-19968 My situation is a bit different, I want/need preorder since yours is one of the few series I don’t get an ARC of and I try to have a review done on release day or as close to it as possible in most cases. It allows me to schedule what books I read when since I have around 100 in my TBR at any time.

Obviously, none of us are tired of reading these books :)

I’m a jUnKiE for the series. I guess that makes me a little biased. That said, I would do what’s best for your writing process. Your fans will support you either way.

I usually preorder (so I don’t forget), but if I can get it quicker… quicker is better. Can’t wait…
