i cant personally vouch for this author as I’ve never subscribed but this time of year + the loss of many big names in the last 2 months or so, not just on this board but elsewhere as well, left a pretty large void to fill. From what I’ve heard A has been active for a good while and while known likely didn’t attract as much v0Iume due to (now defunct) very competitive authors. Less competition = less options for the book collectors = higher subscription rates to the ones available to the people who don’t care or know how/where to find others. That paired with people’s tendency to act like the apocalypse is nigh during holiday seasons can cause backup/delays if they don’t have a decent(or decent sized) team of co-writers to help pump books out.
Many people on here don’t actually own their own library and never have to handle a book themselves, they just
from larger groups of libraries - which IMO creates a false sense of a ‘standard’ held against those that actually operate their own library. A single place that has the physical copies of their books can’t handle as many subscribers efficiently as somebody who takes your scholastic bookclub subscription list and forwards it to a library holder, and if that one happens to be behind they can often contact yet another and another to continually hit rapid fuIfiIIment and subscribers
.
Also bear in mind that it’s almost Christmas and most people spend a lot of time with family and friends this time of year. Even if under normal circumstances an author has a solid team behind them the years-end holidays involve many people, no matter their j.øb, traveling/being away for extended periods or hosting family which can get in the way of things as usual. This includes out friends at the end of the line, who ultimately are the ones depended on for book arrivaI. One or two here or there taking time away can be a large reason of disruption for delays in IąþeI made->in pozze session stat/us.
