tbidwell Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 No date has been set for CAPTIVATED BY YOU. Some of the international publishers have the book in their systems with dates pulled out of a hat because of the way their booksellers work. In order to have the book in their systems at all, it needs to have a date, so they make one up just to put it in the bookseller system. However, ALL publishers are contractually barred from releasing the book before the US does and the US has not set a date for release. Therefore, any dates you see floating around are meaningless. Until Berkley announces a release date and makes the book available for ordering on us.penguingroup.com, there is no release date. hi sylvia pleases tell us the book will be out very soon like May or June Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ilurvegc Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 I def appreciate it! Fingers are still crossed for a late may or early June release though! Hopefully before my vacation so that way I can actually interact with my friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sscrph Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014  I did see about a month ago on most European Amazon sites the date was 27 August tbidwell. I decided not to post it here thinking maybe it was inaccurate, but the longer it stays up the more I am thinking it's probably true. I do not believe that Penguin would miss out on the very lucrative summer reading season by delaying the release until August...Just do not think that is a good business move...Gideon Cross would surely never make a stupid business decision like that lol!! Sylvia will we see an Easter snippet like last year ; please say we will . :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ilurvegc Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 If Sylvia is giving us these little ones then she probably has something great up her sleeve to give us in the future. Has she said anything about a title for the 5th book? Like when she is releasing it? Also, did she say the last two books would come out at the same time or relatively close in dates?

Let those other websites house this sort of negative energy, not the FANSITE. Sylvia shouldn't have to come to her fansite to read this kind of stuff. Let's keep this message board a place of POSITIVITY for Sylvia. We all enjoy when she comes to the board and posts, so let's not ruin it. This is where the real fans come, not the ones who are fed up from waiting and threatening to walk out on the series. I mean, don't get me wrong, I feel their pain, I want the book out like YESTERDAY...the wait sucks majorly. However, there are TONS of other things to read, see and do rather than sit around moping and complaining because CBY isn't out yet. If Sylvia "loses" the fans who are tired of waiting, then they weren't worth having int he first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I supposed to feel bad, to cry, to stress out, to fight with my publisher...? Why would anyone want to inflict that sort of unpleasantness on someone else? It's so small and cruel, I can't wrap my head around it. Is there something positive that's supposed to be taken from such a post? Or is it just a passive-aggressive way of being a bully?  As a reader myself, I have authors I adore because of the characters and stories they've gifted me with. I feel tremendous gratitute toward them for being the conduit through which I've met characters I love and experienced situations that have deep sentimental value to me. I would never abuse those writers for the time it takes them to craft their books or the professional circumstances they may face. I owe them a huge debt and I never forget it.  As a writer, I learned long ago not to let anything affect me personally. It's a well-known fact that artists must have a "thick skin" and mine's titanium. So, tbidwell, save your fingers from typing demands passed on from elsewhere. The books will come out when they come out. I will carry on as I've always carried on. In the end, the only thing that really matters is that I've written the best books I can.  Sylvia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
