I found this on an interview transcription...

"My readers, in fact, I usually get request for “Make the next book longer.” I have actually. Each book gets longs. Really, the only downside to it that I’ve experienced is that it’s sort of twice the work for me. I’m kind of doing two books for the price of one, which I don’t know if I that really puts me in the smart category"

She's writing two times what she used to write, and is expected to write them just as well (which she does great at). So my proposal, which I hope everyone agrees with, is...

Delay the MOONLARK release date.

Yes, I used the title I predicted for Book 9, and yes, I'm sane (probably).

Just listen to this, ok?

Assuming Book 9 is the final book, Shannon will have a  l o t t t t t  of work to do. It'll need to be nearly flawless, tying up every last plot thread, giving a satisfying, climatic conclusion, and making a logical ending.

It'll need to be 900+ pages.

She has 9 months to write 900+ pages.

Then have her editors read it, revise it, and finally begin the publication process.

Shannon Messenger needs at least a year and a half.

Therefore, I propose that the MOONLARK release date be postponed to May 4.
