I hope so. I just finished the 2nd in the series and cannot wait for more! Please let me know if you are planning on or working on the third.

But I'm not at all mad at you or upset. There's a lot of disgruntlement and unnecessary comments on other forums that I despise as well. The Name of the Wind is among one of my favorite books and I absolutely love A song of Ice and fire Hope you have a great day and thanks for the reply =] Landi :] I feel bad that I was a bit harsh.

You're right - you deserve better treatment and more forbearance than I offered. As a bit of background, I follow only 3 authors online - George RR Martin, Patrick Rothfuss and our wonderful host, Robin Hobb. George and Patrick have both taken quite a bit more time than anticipated to produce next novels in their series, and both get a lot of negative commentary because of this. When I saw your comment here, it upset me; I see way too much of this elsewhere. I wish you had not lost the initial response. I think I would have liked to have read it; you seem a thoughtful and passionate person. I regret my mistake, and hope you won't remain angry at me. Regards! :oops: Amber – I’m sorry if I upset you.

Really looking forward to reading it! In UK artists (and everyone else for that matter) have to pay 50% (!!!!!) tax if they earn over £150K... or about 45% if it's over £40K. Something like that. How ludicrously unfair - you work your butt off just to have half your money go to the taxman and, effectively, to those who come up with various excuses not to do any work at all... Makes me cross.

So to keep it short,Landi, your slang "slag" is misimplied and perhaps a tad mistasteful. Additionally your usage of the word means that people not from the U.K or Oceania may be at a loss. Nowhere in my context do I deliberately list my frustrations or personal attacks on George RR Martin or Patrick. I was simply using that reference to show appreciation for writer's such as Ms. Hobb that keep her readers/fans updated at a close Proximity. (Unlike George's 5 year delay and disattached posts) But this doesn't mean I don't appreciate his hard work or his "working towards our enjoyment". No need to bristle or take offensive. As to your question: I will let it go. If you thought I was selfish enough to voice my frustrations of another author on Ms. Hobb's website; you are sadly mistaken.

But I think that's okay, because no one expects me too. Maybe it's not okay. Gah! Jealous of your summer and strawberries and things. It's icy here today and I am missing home made jam - we ran out a few weeks ago, my daughter is a jam fiend. Annnd I’m procrastinating and not writing anything lately.

Jealous of your summer and strawberries and things. It’s icy here today and I am missing home made jam – we ran out a few weeks ago, my daughter is a jam fiend.

Hope that helps keep you cool when the weather's dreadfully hot. Amber - I understand your frustration, but why slag George, or Patrick, or anyone else who works so hard and provides so much enjoyment? Please let it go?
