I have been in an ongoing state of freak-out over the page proofs of Book #2, and it doesn't even come out till Spring next year!
9 days out from my book release and it's already shipping (and selling). Gonna need a few more drinky-poos this week. Oy. I'm kinda excited but mostly dreading it coming out. It's like knowing that my underpants are going to be ran up a flagpole on Tuesday.
Do you ever worry that your subsequent books are going to disappoint your readers? Like... I'm afraid that people will pick up new stuff by me expecting more things like the JJD books, and they'll be disappointed or feel mislead because the new stuff isn't the old stuff.
Am I weird to worry about this?
So, I was thinking about the JJD series, and whether it goes on or not, eventually I'll be writing other books/series. Most of which are different than my JJD stuff. (NoF&A, for example, has a gay protagonist) Do you ever worry that your subsequent books are going to disappoint your readers? Like...

We're discussing this as The Agent is about to put my psycho angels YA on sub. Yeah, I'm a little bit concerned.
Sorry, Chaos. I'll freak out quietly in the basement. It's Hallowe'en, so the it'll be appropriate.
Nah, it's okay. Just feeling down because we got yet another rejection on the YA sub. My poor male protags are getting closer and closer to being trunked.
Which begs the question... If you have a trunked work, has anyone thought about the big SP question that seems to be on everyone's mind lately?
Also, the S&S portal where it lets you track sales as the publisher receives them? I am so curious how that's going to look compared to bookscan. SO CURIOUS.
