The answer you provided really wasn't an answer unless you meant "movement" backwards. It reads to me that yet again "Rich" is going to shove another more important "current" project in front of previously promised "bought & paid for" publications.
Yes I understand the Publishing business is difficult for some but seriously, CD pub has more "drama" excuses than any of the others.
It's absolutely ludicrous how long CD strings its customers along and the bait & switch regarding release timelines is tiring.
So to "MY" question that I've been asking now for years:
When is CD Publishers going to Actually publish "The City of Mirrors"
Please don't respond with "CD will refund my money if I'm unhappy"
I'm very unhappy, I don't want a refund, I want part three to my promised trilogy.
Hi Cook,
I don't take it as a personal attack at all.
I apologize if I caused some confusion above: I meant that Richard has been busy on an unexpected writing project of his own, and when that happens, it can sometimes be difficult for the staff to get clear-cut answers on scheduling and plans, etc, because he's so deep in his own writing. That wasn't in reference to some CD project moving ahead of already announced books.
I understand your frustration. You paid for the book! Years ago! And you want the book, not a refund!
I get that. Trust me, I really really do. I want you to have your book sooner than later, too!
(I mean, seriously: does anyone think I enjoy answering questions about late books? Especially given the absolutely nasty things people feel liberated to say from the safety of their keyboard? NOT anyone
here, of course! You're all awesome! Saints and angels! But if you've ever been on the Internet before, you know what I mean...)
I know I've said this before and got some negative rep, but still, here's the deal... Richard owns CD. It is his company. He pays the bills, he decides what gets done when, he chooses when things are announced publicly, etc.
So, when you ask questions about CD projects, I reply with what I know and am allowed to post publicly. Sometimes this info is unsatisfying, as the post above clearly was. I apologize for that. But the MOMENT I have more concrete news, I will share it widely for everyone.
This still doesn't actually answer your question, underlined and in bold and in size 3 font above, but it's the best information I have at this time. I apologize that it isn't the information you desire.
Brian
