HD Carlton postponed My Dreadful Darling.
Seriously, I wish I understood why authors keep promising one thing and delivering another. We were supposed to get the complete duet with only one month between releases, and now we're only getting the second book in August (she said "maybe," meaning it might not even come out by then). I love her books, but I think she's not an author who focuses on her work. We see this with the Sibby book, she's been promising to finish it for years and we've never received another update on it. It's so irritating when authors do this to us. Why not just be honest from the start? They simply promise something and don't follow through. Surely, if we had been told that we wouldn't be getting the second book anytime soon, many people wouldn't want to read it until it was complete and that's disrespectful to the reader. And I'm not just talking about HD Carlton. Another author promising that she is finishing her books and changing what says every two seconds is Mia Knight, who takes years to deliver sequels to her books. I know authors have their personal lives, but is it that hard to be honest with the people who are going to consume your books? It's fine if they can't release a book quickly, but be honest about it. Let people choose whether they want to read the books until it's complete or not.
