So a few weeks ago, I talked about where an author’s advance goes. Today, I thought I’d talk about something else authors have to deal with — waiting. Because nothing – nothing — in publishing happens fast. Not one darn thing. Case in point: I started working on the first Assassin book in the fall of 2007, and it’s not coming out →
