Ok. Now I know why books have a blurb with a publication date for book two. I have mostly read Baen authors for years. I'm used to waiting a year for sequels. You are the author that got me into indy. I find the pace of sequel production great. I didn't realize you were under the gun, as it were.

Thanks for all your books.

Until this moment, I had not heard of Patrick Rothfuss. Did a search. To me, a certified old fart (I'm 73, been reading science fiction and fantasy, among other things, since I was 8), it sounded like too many petulant, immature children. I've waited on many things for longer periods and of greater import than a book series' next installment. If the author is talented enough and the series gripping enough, that's part of life. Not going to list examples on your space, because old farts are polite. You are included, however. In my mind, the impatient children need to remember which person is the creative, interesting purveyor of reading pleasure and which is just paying for the joy of finding out what the heck happens next.
