so i’m late to the party, as always and am slightly bummed it’s pushed back Don’t get me wrong, if you don’t think it’s ready then you should wait. No matter how much we love it, if your like “eeh” at the end of the day then that’s all that matters. Still the obsessed person inside me is throwing a huge fit, but i know in the end everyone will be glad to have the book finished perfectly!! Happy writing!

I totally understand. I myself like to write though i’m like in my teens and my little chapter books only get read by family, friends, and my class I have gone through and completely re-written the story, the way the characters are per-sieved, and the setting just because I want it to be perfect! So don’t rush! I will re-read the others and wait for your perfect ending!

Kadrina, wow, I have no words to describe how much your comment means to me. That’s exactly it – if it doesn’t feel right, I can’t go along with it until it DOES. I would forever hate myself and have horrible regrets if I let what you described with that other series happen with my book. Eeek – I don’t even want to imagine it. It’s always hard knowing you’re going to disappointment people by delaying a release, but I know in my heart they’d be MORE disappointed if, like you said, I didn’t take the time to do it right. So thank you so very much for your support and kindness. Your comment really helps solidify in me that I made the right decision, and I can’t thank you enough!

I am so glad that you care enough about the readers and the characters we have grown to love to wait until it is just right. I am an author myself and if it doesn’t feel right I always go with my gut feeling. I think some authors don’t think enough about the impact that the final book has on the complete series. I will not name the author, but I read a 4 book series that was made into movies. The first three were great and had me begging for the finally. But half way through the last book it felt all wrong. The only way to discribe it is that it read like someone else had wrote it.The style was completely different and I was so disappointed. I think the impact of the success of the movies made the author rush to complete the book. Thank you for taking the time to do it right.

Take the time you need. I will re-read this series, like the other books and series that I really like, over and over again. I’d rather the wait and love over a specific date.

Relax and let your peace come so the story will have not just the right notes but the right tone.

Poor baby, I can feel the pain in your words.Trust me when I say that none of us want to read the final book and think
‘why did she let us down”.So put it out of your mind, learn from this mistake and give us a great final book. You know we love you and your writings Bailey and I am so proud of you for taking the time to make it right and something You are proud of.
