Everything in the publishing business takes a long time. At least, so it seems to the writer. Well, to this writer.

First it took a long time to sell a book. Then a whole year before it was published. It now seems like eons since Never Resist Temptation hit the bookstores, exactly six months ago. (A period of time that in other aspects of my life seems to have passed in two blinks). And now I have to wait another six months until publication of my next book.
