Lisa Valdez Updates Her Website; Confirms Nothing

by Avid Reader on 02.21.2008

I vis­ited Sybil’s blog and learned that Lisa Valdez has updated her web­site to con­firm what read­ers have already known in that there isn’t a set pub­li­ca­tion date for her two follow-​up novels: Patience and Pri­mose. I have no clue as to why it is taking Ms. Valdez so long to finish what she has started. It is obvi­ous that many read­ers like me found her first book, Pas­sion, a good enough novel to have us excited in read­ing the two books to follow.

I guess what really both­ers me is the not know­ing. I don’t need specifics but a line or two would be nice in let­ting your read­er­ship know that you’re still alive and despite the fact that your book is 2 years past due, you’re still work­ing on it. I think the lack of com­mu­ni­ca­tion is what frus­trates me the most. People would be more patient if the author would just say that per­sonal life has inter­fered with her work (if that is the case). Just to dis­ap­pear and leave your web­site out­dated annoys your fans. Well, it annoys me as I can’t speak for any­body else. I appre­ci­ate the update but it really tells me noth­ing and con­firms only what many have already sur­mised. [shrug] I wish her good luck with her suc­cess in writ­ing but she has pretty much lost me as a reader. Yes, I am fickle like that.

I agree with the com­ment con­cern­ing Mrs Valdez up dates on her web­site. This is a shame WHAT REALLY IS THE PROB­LEM WITH THE BOOKS. I have been wait­ing over 2 years for release of at least one book that is far too long. I have pretty much given up on the books ever being released.
