I haven’t been paying much attention to aleron lately, but didn’t he stop practicing medicine? If that is true then the only reason he can’t get his books out is that he is spending so much time making marketing deals and telling his fans how awesome he/they are, that he has no time to write.
Sounds like your trying to say he needs to take some light off his luster and use it with ink in his pen.
Something like that. I still have him followed on facebook and his posts are pretty much a marketing campaign, or self congratulations. I skim over them much like i do with those that post to much politics
Well someone said - on the forum so you can doublecheck with them - that the labyrinth book is supposed to go up for preorder in late August. Book 9 is end of the year.
I just watched his Facebook video, he said the preorder for the labyrinth book would last two months, so best case scenario it will be available in late October Early November. Then he said he had already started book nine. Reading between the lines he was saying “remember that chapter about Alma killing a bee, I’m like half way through this thing.” He literally said book 9 would depend on how the muses hit him. If he gets book 9 out by this Christmas I will buy one of his hats and eat it. Don’t get your hopes up guys, no book 9 this year. Next year is not looking great either unless he really has gotten his writing mojo back. I don’t know why he sets up these unrealistic deadlines. Maybe he feels like he needs the pressure to be motivated.
Because like most authors he wants to satisfy his fanbase but its taking longer and longer to write/ plan an increasingly complex story. Hence you come up with a best, best case scenario. I expect a book or two per year. Expecting more is unrealistic at this level of complexity.
Ricther will make it just in time and he is liable to have some reinforcements show up right before they break.
