The reason is that any sequel was also going to be published by Dreamspinner Press Publications (who did W+S and C+S), and again, I don't believe it would be financially successful enough for the time I put into it.
I tried to force myself to engage, but in my heart, I'd already written it off as a loss, and that's hard to overcome.Īlong with that, it means there will be no Burn 2.
And it explains the lack of promotion I did for C+S, seeing as how W+S didn't sell as much as I thought it would. And that's unfortunate, but again, reality. Which means, for the first time, I'm going to have to weigh what I write with what will sell. Risk sometimes yield reward other times, it does not. W+S and C+S took two years to write, and I don't know that I can take such time again on a single work. But since this is now my sole source of income, I have make the hard decisions as to what I put my time into. And that, of course, is on me, not those who buy my books. You have the right to buy whatever you wish after all, it is your hard earned money. It's disappointing, as I truly thought I'd built up enough trust for my readers to follow. Therefore, there will be no more books in that series, even though the end note in C+S says there will be. I have never thought myself better than any other MM author in fact, I think there is room for anyone that wants to tell a story.īluntly: Withered + Sere and Crisped + Sere haven't sold like I expected. However, not everything meets expectations, which can be humbling in itself. It's humbling and awesome that people like what I write, and I truly appreciate the position it's put me in. I have been so damn fortunate in that my books tend to sell really well. So, this sucks to have to write, but it's a reality I think all authors face at one point or another.
