>In somewhat surprising news, Patrick Rothfuss's editor Betsy Wollheim has reported that she is yet to read any material from his next novel, The Doors of Stone, the third and concluding volume in The Kingkiller Chronicle, and notes a lack of communication on the book's progress.

>"This article is right: authors don't owe their readership books, but what about the publishers who paid them? Book publishing is not as lucrative as many other professions, and publishers rely on their strongest sellers to keep their companies (especially small companies like DAW) afloat. When authors don't produce, it basically fucks their publishers. And I don't get the "blame the editor" part at all. Don't you think we editors want to publish the books we buy? That is just nuts. When I delayed the publication of book two, Pat was very open with his fans--they knew what was happening. I've never seen a word of book three."
