rolanniFrom the Romantic SF website in re Lee and Miller's Crystal Dragon, we have the following reader comment:
I'm a Miller & Lee fan but did not buy their latest because I was annoyed. I think this book should have come out *before* their last book (Sword of Orion?). When authors write trilogies or duologies, IMO the books should come out one after another as soon as possible. To have a nonrelated book come between is an insult to fans who wanted the next book ASAP. I realize Miller & Lee might not be to blame and perhaps I'm "punishing" the wrong entity, but I felt the need to make a statement, albeit a very tiny insignificant one.
I tried to answer reasonably. I probably shouldn't have bothered.

papersky -- it's the pollen count, absolutely. All the little spore thingies are getting into people's brains and clogging up the higher functions.

What I care about is that I like X authors and X authors books are getting Published. That being said, I mentioned it in my journal, but if you can bear a fangirl *squee* I had a great time at PenguiCon meeting and talking to ye and the other FoL folk.
