Uncovering You 5 is done… but I’m not releasing it.

6/30/2014

All right guys, girls, and readers everywhere… here’s what’s up:

We’re on the eve of Uncovering You 5’s release date, and I have to make a difficult decision: whether to publish the book or not.

Is the book written? Yes. Has it been edited and is it ready to be published? Yes.

But will I do it?

No.

Here’s why:

The book does not do justice to the story. I want to bring back the intensity you loved in UY1 and UY2. I’ve read the reviews. I know that you thought UY3 and (more so) UY4 were weak.

I don’t want to follow those up with another ‘meh’ book. My current version of UY5 isn’t awful. It’s just not great. I knew it from the moment I finished it a week ago.

I’ve been mulling my options for the past few days. I tried to edit it, but that was a disaster. The book demands a rewrite. Why? Because this is the most pivotal part of the story. Everything comes out. All the questions that have been building are finally going to be answered. You’ll finally learn the depths of Stonehart’s depravity. You’ll learn why Lilly was the one chosen by him. And you’ll see a world that has only been hinted at before.

I want to do it right.

I took a few days away from writing to clear my head. Now I’m back and more inspired than ever. I wrote a new draft for UY5 and I love it. LOVE it. That same excitement I felt when writing UY1 is back. And (you could probably tell) it was missing from UY3/4.

So the next question that comes to mind is “when”. When is the book going to be released? When is it coming out?

Uncovering You 5 will be out some time in July. I don’t want to commit to a firm date yet, so that I don’t miss it again.

But I’ll keep you updated on my blog. If you haven’t yet, sign up for my mailing list so that you don’t miss it when it comes out.

Now, how am I going to make it up to you? I’ll double the length. Uncovering You 5 is going to encompass the plot I originally had for UY5 and 6. It will be full and meaty and freaking awesome. No more short serials. Instead, you get full books.

The only favor I’d ask of you… is that if you see this letter… please let other readers know. Only a tiny fraction of everyone who’s followed along with the series actually comes to my website. Those who don’t visit the blog won’t know where Uncovering You 5 is, and will get mad when they don’t find it tomorrow.

One final thought. A rushed book is forever bad, while a delayed book is eventually good. That’s the philosophy that sealed my decision. Everything I have, I owe to you. I could release a book that I’m unhappy with, which in turn would disappoint you… or, I can hold off, rewrite, and give you something awesome. Neither choice is ideal, but I’m trying to pick the lesser of two evils.

Anyway. I hope you stick around. The story of Lilly Ryder and Jeremy Stonehart is about to take on a whole new intensity.

Love,

Scarlett Edwards

Although I'm disappointed I'm glad to hear your rewriting it to make not only us happy but your self can't wait to read it really;)

Thanks for the update and I will be waiting on the release!!

This sucks! I've been waiting all day yesterday for it to appear on Amazon and now I come here discovering that it has been canceled! Not only that but the author canceled because of reviewers. I don't want to read something that isn't 100% hers. I want to read something that she wrote from her heart even if others disregard. So not paying for the next book.

Gaby

Hi Scarlett, take your time and don't get under presure. We love your books and can wait. Writing is a creative act. You need a free spirit and an open heart. To the story: I would be happy if Lilly and Jeremy come closer emotionally. Otherwise it is too hard to understand,why Lilly is so fascinated by him. Jerem'y plan to involve her in his business has been a good direction.
Warm greetings from Germany

Good things come to those who wait!!! Take your time and do what pleases you. Then it will show in your finished work and please the reader. Can"t wait!!!

I'm glad I came to your blog and read that you didn't forget book 5!!! So many folks are po'd if you don't listen to reviews, yet po'd that you listened and wanted to write a better book for us!! Sounds like you can't win for losing!! I'm thrilled that you're writing the book your way! I've been a huge fan of yours forever and will continue to be a fan, regardless of how long it takes for you to rewrite this book. You go, honey!! I'm a fan for life!!!

Serena

I must be obsessed because I set a rolling reminder in my calendar to buy U5. Imagine my disappointment to not seeing it day after day, I had thought you'd forgotten about us. I don't normally leave reviews (aside from stars) or write authors, but after reading this I wanted to let you know I understand. As a writer (not published, just for myself) I understand the critic we can put on ourselves and can understand wanting to get it perfect for your fans. I personally loved the series, and being that I ALWAYS have to finish a book, even if it's flawed, call it an OCD type need to tie loose ends, it's now become necessary to find out the whys of your next book. So please let us all know when it's finished. I'm dying here! And thank you for updating us :)

Scarlett, thanks for your candor and your note. I will admit to being disappointed in UY4, but was still looking forward to the next installment. I look forward to UY5!

I am no longer disappointed with your stutter steps and your undelivered promises to release the 5th edition - I am just done with you completely. You need to get a serious grip - you're not writing artful, highbrow literature - you're writing fun, quick read trash. To say you're not releasing what you've written because you want to "get it right" and deliver the same intensity to the conclusion that you did in vol. 1 and 2, is almost laughable. You have a seriously inflated opinion of the literary quality if your books and you're obviously unencumbered by self doubt. While I enjoyed reading 1-4, your antics over the course of the past several weeks and your continued delays mark the end for me. I won't read Uncovering You 5 or anything else you write any longer. Instead, I'll move on to the plethora of authors who write books just like yours and have a firm grasp on reality and what their work actually is - quick, trashy, fun, sexually charged reads that allow the reader to lose themselves for a while.

Michelle

7/17/2014 01:40:15

Amen Kendra!

Susan Benson

7/20/2014 08:56:25

Wow, just wow. I agree Kendra and while I consider myself loyal, we as readers were not even given any updates. I thought perhaps an update today 2 months late and nothing.

Katherine

7/24/2014 13:45:29

I guess it's your loss in missing out a great book like this. I bet your gonna read it anyway...

jennifer

8/1/2014 00:58:01

The fact that you took the time to bash the author is the only laughable display I see here. I understand your angst in having to wait a bit longer to read the book but to feel the need to put her down when all she wants to do is make sure that you are not disappointed in the latest addition to the UY series and quiet frankly I do not see where she would benefit in having "fans" such as yourself here to criticize her anyways.

Jenn Weidman

6/30/2014 11:21:05

I love the books!! I can't wait to read the next one!

Sheri

6/30/2014 11:21:39

Patiently waiting. Would rather have a great book and not the disappointment of an ok book after waiting. Do your thing girlie!

Pauline

6/30/2014 11:23:04

Thanks for the update.

In a way, I feel though, that you take too much insights into the reviews. It is critique. It is criticism. It is what's not.

You shouldn't have to alternative your story based on reviews - whether they fall in love, have more drama, etc. If you're doing it for the readers to feel that their wishes are getting answered, I think that is a big downfall. Please don't alternate the story because of what readers want to happen, but what YOU want to happen.

That's all I have to say and even though I am disappointed, I will be awaiting the next sequel.

Alexis

6/30/2014 13:34:27

Very, very much agreed. Although I think it's great that she reads the reviews, she puts too much hold into what everyone else wants.

Jenny

6/30/2014 13:44:37

I agree with Pauline and you. When you write, you have to write what you feel inside and what you WANT. Ultimately, it is not up to others. Reviews do help, yes. But I feel that the storyline is going to be warped because of those folks word.

Charlie

7/1/2014 11:14:21

100% agree, you can't please everyone and I feel if you write you books based on reviews you are at risk of losing your voice as a writer, which is why people like your books in the first place.

Just my opinion :)

I have enjoyed all of "uncovering you" including parts 3 and 4. I'm looking forward to part 5 when you are finished with it.

6/30/2014 11:24:19

Ally

6/30/2014 11:24:59

I posted your note under questions on the amazon page.

Hope you will be happy with the finished product and let us know if you need anything.

Anyway we can get any teasers?

Do you know how many more books will be in the series after you release book 5

Cindy

6/30/2014 11:26:39

While I am glad that it is going to be a full book, does that mean it's the final? I hope not. ):

Anna

6/30/2014 11:32:45

You go girl!

6/30/2014 11:33:35

So, will number 5 be the wrap up of the story, or are you going to still have a number 6? If you're taking suggestions, I think we would all be thrilled if number 5 was the best and final in the series.

Nora

6/30/2014 11:35:47

You had me waiting an entire 24 hours before coming out with this...this was an entirely frustratig expearience. I am deeply disappointed by you. Not because the book is late but because you had us waiting the entire release day sharing this information - ignoring your readers comments, probably on purpose. I am done with the series now - I've been anxiously waiting for part 5 but after this experience you ruined it all for me. I am sorry but that's how I feel about it.
And come on - sometime in July? You've got to be kidding us. Don't start this all releasing-a-book-in-parts-concept when you're obviously not able to keep up with it and treat your readers respectfully.

Your loss

6/30/2014 13:13:37

You sound like you're breaking up with a boyfriend. Relax! She made a major decision that affected both her fans and herself. Are you a writer?! Do you know how hard it is to make a decision like that? I don't know, but I can only imagine. Trying to please your readers is not easy. She made the right choice. Yeah we could have been told sooner, but again, she made a big decision. Your comment was a little dramatic, especially the part about being done with the series. Hey! I don't care if you don't buy them any more, but keep that to yourself. Expressing negativity is no way to make your point. I also advise you to learn to patience, it is a virtue...and you, ma'am, have none.

Eva

6/30/2014 13:54:29

As a writer, she should have the decency to convey to us that it wasn't going to be on today. She confirmed on Facebook yesterday that it was going to be out today and it isn't. That is what is disappointing.

It is rude. It is disrespectful. To know that people's reviews has influenced her that much really makes me not want to read it anymore. I liked that it was her ideas, from her mind, from her heart. Now, people opinions are going to be inputted when she rewrites.

I don't feel that it's going to be genuine. And that is my problem. I will not be purchasing the next installment.

Chill Out your loss

6/30/2014 16:34:09

it is disappointing though. I understand how she feels. We have had patience and it hasn't paid off. A writer shouldn't be basing her books on what her readers are saying. She should write the books as the characters develop and if the readers don't like it, some will. Some won't. they will, however, get over it. Put your books out when you say you are going to and you will have more satisfied readers. That's all I'm saying.

Verda

6/30/2014 13:28:18

So agree I feel like this could have been said, yesterday instead of letting us wait all day! Done with this author!

Deby

7/5/2014 12:38:03

I agree, dont start something you cant close properly. I'll reed the 5th book, but I wont reed the autor again.

Sharon

7/7/2014 03:29:53

Life happens and was I disappointed with the delay? Yes absolutely. That said, she has captivated me with her books (Although I am hoping in this next book Lily finally has some real hope) I would rather wait for a well written book that is true to the story & her vision as opposed to a piece of crap that pisses me off in the end because she felt compelled to meet a deadline rather than give all of us who want a very well written book. It's been said good things come to those that wait and in this case I am a true believer. So just sit back, chill and wait for wonderful as opposed to mediocre :))

RokNRollHeart

6/30/2014 11:37:09

Completely get it but just just say so sooner don't wait the day of. It's like hey I'm getting married in a week but I'm kind of having second thoughts, I know I'll just wait until my wedding day to say I've changed my mind and not show up lol. Well we have no choice but to wait I'm sure I will enjoy when it does come out

Pulga

6/30/2014 11:37:45

I am glad you are taking your time to give us a closure in this series. This is the only book I have read this "intense" I was going to stop after the second book but I need to know what happens to Lilly.

janet

6/30/2014 11:37:59

Better late than never give us a great one

mindy

6/30/2014 11:38:04

Ok, looking forward to the 're write. Because your right the fist draft would have just pissed us off. Just for drop us a note when your ready. Be well Child.

I agree that we need this book to end. Make number 5 a final book. I've really enjoyed it but I'm really getting frustrated by the fact that books go on forever and we buy again and again just to see how they end.

6/30/2014 11:38:56

Nancy White

6/30/2014 23:02:35

I also am getting frustrated with so many books in the series. I have recently started to avoid books that are continued. I want to read a really good book and be done with it.

Karen

7/3/2014 19:53:19

I got pulled in despite making a promise to not read any more "series books". The book is well written, but am desirous of seeing where this ends.

Krista

6/30/2014 11:41:26

Since it is delayed could we please get a sneak peak at a page or two to keep our desperation at bay? Love the books! I'm a fan for life. And as an English teacher I really do respect your decision to make it perfect!

Linda

6/30/2014 11:45:23

Can we atleast get the first few pages? I want to know what happens at the beginning. Atleast give us that. You had me wishing for since 12 at midnight. I don't get why you said the eve of UY. Normally, books are released the DAY that it is said at midnight, not considered the eve.

LINDA STINSON

6/30/2014 11:47:24

I am disappointed but suspected you weren't going to make the deadline. You need to stop trying to please everyone and please yourself first - the end product will most likely be better than ever. You're very talented and I hope you have a long future as an author. Listen to your own heart when you write. But please, stop the serial nonsense and start writing REAL books.

Joanne

6/30/2014 11:47:54

This is just plain disappointing. Never setting myself up for another release again. I thought the ending of UY4 was the perfect cliffhanger for UY5. Probably will purchase the next book but my excitement has plummeted.

Ann Manning

6/30/2014 11:49:10

Thanks for the update, I'm glad that you'll be able to release book 5 soon. It only makes me want to read it more.I know it's going to be great. Happy writing Scarlett.

angela

6/30/2014 11:57:48

That update should have been posted DAYS ago instead of waiting until almost the end of the day on the date it was to be released.

If you are going to delay it, you should just finish it and not drag out into a 6th book.

Jamie

6/30/2014 12:08:02

Soooooo frustrating :( could sometimes in July be tomorrow ;)

Victoria Garrett

6/30/2014 12:18:59

I love the fact that your staying true and not selling something that you don't fully believe in. I would rather wait and have it be the story that shows your full potential as a writer than something that is just "meh" to feed the masses. I will wait patiently and will remain one of your loyal readers. Thank you!!!!

I appreciate your honesty and hardwork, and agree with you about having a great book to read. Now that I have mentally gotten over the disappointment and can move on with my life, i am super excited to read a full size book when it comes out. But, please

6/30/2014 12:23:54

Kala

6/30/2014 12:29:15

I love the idea of you bringing UY1 excitement back, so keep on that train, girl! I know disappointment is hard to hear, and I would have loved to have had the book today also, but I want to read a good book. Not an ok book. So do what you have to, as well as yourself a favor, and scan over the over the melodramatic comments. They always come around in the end if it's good.

Becky

6/30/2014 12:36:02

I'm disappointed, but I rather read a good book than a mediocre one. But, in the future, you need to be more forthcoming to your readers. Waiting all day only to be disa

Becky

6/30/2014 12:40:10

...disappointed wasn't fair to your readers who were anxious to read the next installment.

Connie

6/30/2014 12:37:49

Although I'm disappointed, I understand what you're trying to do. You want to please everyone and in doing so, you rush the story line. In which case you have a finished product that you're not happy with. Everyone that loves the series and you, will keep coming back for more no matter how long they have to wait for the finished product. I know I will...

Connie

6/30/2014 12:40:29

I really don't understand . It's frustrating to begin with to start and stop in a book , and this is why I normally don't read books published like this to begin with. I really got into this book and after spending $12 dollars on it I kinda would like an ending. I feel like you should have published it our told your fans before today that your delaying yet again.

Belinda

6/30/2014 12:46:40

Good Decision! Better to give us a great book when it's ready. Thank you!

Nora

6/30/2014 12:46:47

You even said in a facebook-comment on Friday that Monday it is. And then you went MIA the entire release day. And now people are THANKING you for the info. This info should have been shared hours, if not days ago. This is really, really disappointing, frustrating and so NOT okay. Not PAYING for the next installment. Never experienced something unprofessional like that with another author.

Marie

6/30/2014 12:58:42

Never again will I purchase books from this writer. Completely unprofessional the way this played out. She was well aware that it would not be released today and left all the followers of this story hanging.

Verda

6/30/2014 13:18:26

I agree you don't wake up today and say hey I'm not going to release this today but I am gonna watch 90 people ask where it is and not reply till late at night!!# We are the ones that pay for these but where not told! Crazy!!

Sarah

6/30/2014 13:00:57

Honestly. It does not matter when the book comes out. I just want it to be exciting and suspenseful as the first and to have it be written well. I dont care when the next comes out whether it be a motnh or 6 months or a year! I'm happy that you are excited with the re-write and cannot wait to read it!

Maybe you should start apologizing to Amazon...

6/30/2014 13:13:31

...since some readers already blamed them. It seems at least they're doing their job!

verda

6/30/2014 13:14:28

This is totally crazy! Once delayed all day today waiting for it to be released!! No update!! You knew yesterday that this was not coming out today and you let all of us sit and wait! Never again will I buy a book that you write! A little communication earlier would have went a long way as I kept updating amizon!

Lynzie

6/30/2014 13:21:01

Wow, talk about the disappointed and angry fans, lol. I, for one, am glad that you decided to do a rewrite because if a book you write is making you unhappy than you should take care of yourself first. Since the characters, Lily and Jeremy are your babies, so to speak, it would make more sense that you write their story the way thy tell you to. I have read numerous series books and I have found yours to be one of the most intriguing so far. Take your time and do not feel pressured due to impatient fans. If they are that into the books than they will wait for you to finish your editing and rewriting; good luck and I hope this book is the best yet!!!

I actually LOL'd while reading most of these comments

6/30/2014 13:25:40

Sorry, but I'm sure all the commenters who are saying they aren't going to buy the next installment...will most likely buy it.
Draaaama queeens!!!! Don't get me wrong, your comments were very entertaining and all...just take it down a notch.
I on the other hand will buy the next installment because I don't care when it comes out. As long as it's amazing! Which I'm sure it will be. All those negative nancies need to relax. Throwing a hissy fit on the internet is not lady-like.

Nancy

6/30/2014 16:38:50

Leave my name out of this, whoever wrote about negative nancies!!!! LOL

Sorry

7/1/2014 01:19:23

Sorry! I have nothing against nancies :)

Lisa

6/30/2014 13:49:12

I was looking forward to getting home today from work. After the last delay, I didn't think there would be another one. But THERE IS. It is disrespectful to readers who look forward to reading her books. She should've told us yesterday or the day before so we know not to expect it. Absolutely disappointed and in no way will my hard earn cash be wasted on an author who can't have some initiative to let her fans know prior to the release date. Communication is everything and yesterday, she left a comment on Facebook even confirming it's release. I will just imagine what Lily and Jeremy's ending is. It's clear that she is letting reviews dictate how she writes.

Frustrated

6/30/2014 13:53:05

I understand a book isn't ready, but I am really getting tired of this. You are not the only author that has emphatically promised to have a book out by a certain date and then to push it back sometimes by months. Right now I can name at least 5 authors that are doing this. I am beginning to see a pattern that is becoming very unpleasant and rude. You and the other authors should not give a release date unless you are absolutely sure you can deliver on that promise.

dee

6/30/2014 14:07:23

Thanks for the update and making the effort to provide your readers a great read. I look forward to Uncovering 5.

Angela

6/30/2014 14:09:44

I agree. Calm down. Writers have lives too. They don't just sit there in a bubble and write non stop with out eating or sleeping. And I'm sure just like us shit happens in their own lives too which might impact their lives outside their writing. So if you're done. Fine don't buy it and if you're not then keep an eye out in July for it but overall keep the negativity to yourself. I'm sure if you had to make a difficult decision in your own life you wouldn't appreciate hundreds of people making you feel worse than you probably already do.
I don't know another author that listens so much to her fans and critics, maybe she should just ignore the lot of you and write what she wants, when she wants and damn the consequences.
It must be hard all you perfect people out there with your perfect lives that don't make a single bad choice or ever dissapoint anyone with a decision you make. Your expectations are unrealistic. Life isn't perfect, things don't always go to plan and I think a book not coming out in time should be pretty low on your list of things to complain about.
I look forward to reading the next part when ever that may be.

Carry

6/30/2014 14:32:33

Our expectations? Basically, June 30th was an euphemism for "second chance". She could've told her readers that it wasn't coming out yesterday, instead, she let people wait for over 12 hours since midnight. That is not cool. Communication is everything like everyone says and she didn't.

Nancy

6/30/2014 16:42:05

we are aware they have lives too. what we are saying is she knew it wouldn't be ready for the release date and still waited until the end of said date to tell us she wasn't going to release it!! What she did has nothing to do with whether she has a life or not and everything to do with disrespect and dishonesty. A shame really.

Julie

6/30/2014 14:31:23

These people are crazy! My goodness it's a book (yes a damn good one) but a make believe story! Calm down, go back to your real lives for a while and give a girl a minute! Your book will be here soon enough! Un wadd your panties and play nice!

LOL

6/30/2014 14:45:25

Oh Scarlett, don't feel guilty. I have loved all your books in UY 1-4. But like an addict, can't wait for the next hit on this storyline. It has been so compelling and really drags the reader into the story that I must admit can't wait for the next episode in this drama. Love that we are going to get more and will have to curb my enthusiasm and let your creative juices flow onto the page. All I can say is come on July

Stephanie

6/30/2014 15:01:33

All I can say is wow, I agree with everyone. I'm upset it's going to be late again, but also I'm glad that you want to make it better for us. I'm upset that the update wasn't posted sooner, but I also understand that sometimes other things come first. Some of these folks are being very overdramatic, if you say you aren't buying the next one, then you weren't a dedicated reader to the series anyway. Get over yourselves girls. Is it really that serious? Why don't you all find something better to do with your lives than tell this author that she has made a bad decision? You would've been more pissed at her if she had just released it, you paid for it, and then it be a bust. I agree with you angry bloggers, it should've been announced sooner, but it wasn't, so find another way to occupy your time until it's here. IT'S A BOOK, NOT A LIFE CHANGING EVENT.

Kayce

6/30/2014 15:14:44

Do what you need to do! It's your work and if you're not happy it will forever eat at you regardless of what anyone else says. Just so you know, you've not let me down an inch! Go forth and be fabulous!

Tracey

6/30/2014 15:34:11

Just got email. I am happy that you are doing this. As a writer you want your best out there. I don't mind the wait! I actually haven't read 4 yet, partially due to the story but also had a lot of must read and review books. I will definitely be looking forward to book 5. Glad you took a short break and came back with something you feel better about! I was hooked since book 1 and will continue to buy your books. Thank you for your honesty and for not putting out a piece of your work you weren't happy with! This is your story to tell and it should be the way you want it, us the readers will appreciate it more and it will reflect in the story. Thank you!

I was so worried about what book 5 would hold, but now I am so excited to hear that we are getting a full story in the series ... A great book is worth waiting for. Keep is posted and good luck.

Claire

6/30/2014 15:55:01

Wow.

I understand that as an author, these type of things happen within the process.

Yet, to push the due date back once and now doing it again is just ridiculous. It really sets a tone for her professionalism in the business world. She shouldn't have made a due date that she couldn't meet.

Also, I agree with the also comments. Saying you are rewriting due to reviews really degrades your book. Isn't it your book and your ideas? Why are you letting reviewers influence your storyline? If it is not your idea; it's not your book in a very loose sense. I really liked the first four, but then again IT IS MY OPINION - just like all these people who said they didn't like it.

But you shouldn't let others dictate how you write. That's my problem going into this next book that I will purchase, but I will, in the back of head, know that it isn't 100% organic due to how you said you were affected by people's reviews. Yes, we all need money, but being an author shouldn't be about that. It comes second after your passion.

Disappointed.

^^Agreed

6/30/2014 16:00:23

Couldn't have said it better myself!

Linda Stinson

Very well written with good advice for Ms. Edwards. Hope she takes it and learns to take critiques for what they are - opinions.

Madie

7/18/2014 11:31:14

I agree with you 100%

Nora

6/30/2014 16:10:39

Just to make that clear - what many people complain about here is not the fact that she wants the book to be perfect and decided to rewrite it. This is something I have respect for. What makes people frustrated and angry is the way she handled it - mostly that she waited the entire release before communicating that - knowing that most of her readers already refreshed Amazon the 500th time. Everybody was asking her whats going on - but nothing. That appears like she did that on purpose…to me this letting your readers down. And that's what I am disappointed about

Nancy link

6/30/2014 16:28:45

What the heck!!! I literally waited all day, have paid about 15 bucks already and you decide because of some comments by non-authors to not release the next book??? If you are going to delay it because of that, then combine books 5and 6 and be done with it in the next book. I am tired of waiting. Especially because of such a weak excuse. I will get the next one, simply because I am invested in the story now. I will not get anymore serials after this tho. I am done with them. This has left a bad taste in my mouth.

Ellen

6/30/2014 16:48:45

I guess all we can hope for are more of these ridiculous e-cards on fb. I am getting personal? Yes! Am I ashamed of it? No

And here is why:

She did that on purpose, that is nothing you just spontaneously decide until the release day. After an entire day of waiting she throws us a piece of information and disappears again.
Furthermore - come on, you write what the fans ask you the write. OMG, I sure as hell don't wanna read it. I wanted to read YOUR story, not what others dictate you.

Wtf?!?!#?!?

6/30/2014 17:16:10

lol this bitch i have been refreshing the menu for 24 hours! since freaken midnight and now i go on her blog to see that she canceled? wtffFFF? this bitch lol

Helen

6/30/2014 17:41:11

I think it is braver to stand up and say hey, it was ready to release, but now, I don't think so.... my readers will understand. Life happens, decisions are made, not made, changed.

Jenny

6/30/2014 18:24:04

We understand, completely, that you want to write us a book worth reading. Absolutely acceptable and understandable.
What happen was the way you went about it. You confirmed to a fan on Facebook saying it was going to be release tomorrow. Now understand, some of us are heavily invested into the story and will refresh Amazon 120843953 times starting at midnight and stay up late awaiting its arrival. You knew this. Without a doubt, you knew this. You knew this and you decided that "Oh hey, let me make them wait toward the end to announce the bombshell news."
Business wise? No. Professional? No. Acceptable? No. You have delayed once, & I think everyone was understanding people you informed us five days in advance. This time, you just decided to make us wait and got our hopes up.
Also, I agree with the comments referring to the reviews. I feel that you are letting them get to your head. You should write the way you want because people will judge you regardless. It is funny too because you would post philosophical quotes on Facebook and now you, yourself, is a victim of it. This really disappoints me because reviews shouldn't change the course of the storyline. That is an author's passion to write. The story that you invented, not what others come up with. Not looking forward to the next book - the adrenaline is not there a bit.

on purpose

7/2/2014 20:39:15

Frankly, I think this was a publicity stunt to get the readers talking about it. Maybe they will mention it to their friends in frustration, Friends get curious and buy series to see what the fuss is about. I am surprised no one thought of this already.

Karen

6/30/2014 17:47:25

Hi Scarlett, let me just say one more time what everyone is trying to tell you: consider tht we have waited long enough for the book to be released. I live in Italy, I waited all the night so sure as hell this reader is not pleased to hear UY5 ha been delayed ONE MORE FUCKING TIME. Your luck is that we are all invested in the story at this time, too way invested to just give up and move on. But that doesn't change the fact that a writer, a professional and fair one, shouldn't change his mind the way you did, with a very weak excuse which smells like cowardy and breaking all the previous promises. Your readers are patient, but remember: patience, as well as respect and affection, once gained is not granted forever. This time, try to be fair to us.

Amy

6/30/2014 19:20:43

Ok, so I normally don't leave blog messages AT ALL. But I have to say this, I'd rather there be a delay and the book be something you can live with (it is YOUR work after all, and I'd rather you be fine with it no matter what any one else has to say). And as for the others who are complaining....they need to step back, breath, and be grateful you aren't George R.R. Martin (you know a book every 5 years or so) LOL.

Helen

6/30/2014 19:28:53

I think the problem people are having is that she is not communicating to the readers. She is rewriting because reviews have affected her and it is alternating her storyline.

6/30/2014 20:04:37

You did the right thing Scarlett, I would much rather wait a bit longer for something worthwhile, than have you publish something you were not completely happy with!! I just snuck a couple more books in while I wait.

Charlotte

6/30/2014 20:15:10

I regret having started the series. Not because she decided to rewrite to make it better! Noo! That is not why!
Because of the unbelieveble way she treats her readers, her communication policy and the fact she purposely made everyone wait.
And because the story gets dictated by the fans ... That is crazy.
I wish I hadn't started with these books - especially because the releasing-in-parts-idea did not convince me in the first place. Last book by this author ever. Sorry! Very disappointed!

Corana

6/30/2014 20:18:44

I was wondering if there is going to be a sequel to never let go?

Charlie link

7/1/2014 11:24:07

Based on how Uncovering You is getting dragged out, I'm totally giving up on any sequel to Never Let Go......

Julie

8/6/2014 23:58:28

Yes, was there a sequel to Never Let Go? I have just finished it and would love to find out the next instalment.
Uncovering You 5 was better than 2,3& 4.
I agree the delay was a publicity stunt, after Amazon pulled 1 for 'too much nudity'.
Looking forward to 6. So much is still unanswered!

Sue N

6/30/2014 20:30:51

Take the time you need to bring us a continued story we will not forget...deadlines should not matter...and sometimes promises need to be broken. Thx for putting your heart n soul into Lilly n Jeremy's saga!

Monique

6/30/2014 20:31:44

Scarlett, I rather wait than read something you do not love. Thank you for communicating to your fans. ♡

Amanda link

6/30/2014 21:42:28

Scarlett,
I am no longer going to be following you or spending money on your writing, and here's why:
Although I have enjoyed the first 4 installments of UY I am disappointed and really disgusted in your lack of faith and respect for your readers.
It is apparent by your announcement that you knew that UY 5 was not going to be coming out on June 30, yet you said nothing to those who are following you. I can only assume that this was a result of being an ostrich, or poor advise.
I do wish you luck on your endeavors and commend you on not pushing out shit just to make dead lines. All decisions have consequences, mine will be not knowing what will become of Lily and Jeremy… fortunately for me there are thousands of worth while books to read. Yours will be not receiving any more of my hard earned money … a drop in the bucket, but I am sure mine is not the only drop.
Wishing you better choices in the Future,
Amanda

Rita

6/30/2014 21:43:33

I will be anxiously waiting!! I have loved all of them and support your decision:)

Kelli T

6/30/2014 22:21:02

Seriously enough with the bashing. Get your priorities sorted out. The book didn't come out today, so what!!! There are far more important things in life than a book being delayed, get a life and stop bullying the author. Some of you should be disgusted with yourselves with some of the comments that have been written. Get over yourselves.

Yadira

6/30/2014 21:59:32

Hi Scarlett...... am I upset, shattered, and going crazy because this book was not released on time? YES, but I totally understand why you are doing this. My thoughts about 50 Shades of Gray..... I loved books one and two with all my heart but felt that Christian Gray was so very mild in book three. That is why Chrisitan can no longer be my number one. I needed that same intensity throughout the entire series and it was not delivered. Take for instance Travis Maddox, WOW! He never changed and stayed true to himself to the end. Jamie McGuire knew how to write about his character thru the end. I need that for Stoneheart as well. All I have to say is TAKE YOUR TIME but also HURRY UP as well, lol. Thanks and can't wait.

Julian

7/1/2014 02:37:14

Thanks for your input. She is going to be taking it into consideration when writing just like all these other reviews. The book is no longer organic. Sure Christian may have changed, but atleast EL James didn't let other people dictate where her story was going and that is the true mark of a good author.

Sandi

6/30/2014 22:32:09

Been on pinns and needles waiting for 5, but totally understand you wanting it perfect, and everone learns form thier mistakes so next time you know hao to handle things. To us readers Lily and Stonehart are so real that sometimes we (meaning me) what just to either b+*#h slap her into doing something or kill him when he hurts he again or run to the police to tell them someone is being abused!! Please give us a little teaser- Do I love him or hate him? Also maybe a tentative date?

Ok hurry hurry release first part of July great story line book 5

6/30/2014 22:35:59

Donna

6/30/2014 22:55:10

I am waiting on pins and needles. I love the story of Jeremy and Lilly...I still want to kick Jeremy's ass because of the 4th book....but can't wait to read the continuation of their story.

Charlotte

6/30/2014 23:03:22

I am also annoyed that she ignores the criticism and just pretends everyone is fine with the way she handled is. Very ignorant!

Sara

6/30/2014 23:25:43

Gutted but the wait will only make it more exiting can wait plus two books in one whoop roll on July love these books so much x x

Seriously!

6/30/2014 23:29:11

I doubt the author is ignorant of the criticism she is being bombarded with. But even if she apologised individually to all of you ripping into her to shreds I doubt that would be enough for you lot. She's probably in the bed crying or working her ass off trying to get part 5 finished for you guys to shut you up. Get over it and move on.

Charlotte

7/1/2014 00:00:17

Well, then why not telling us WHY she left us hanging the entire day?

Sorry about that !! I will keep waiting

6/30/2014 23:42:20

Kristin

6/30/2014 23:57:55

I was totally looking forward to reading over the holiday weekend! I LOVE this series so your promise for a longer story is enough for me! I totally admire your own judgment to make it your best yet! But please don't make us wait to long and thanks for explaining yourself it makes it all the more exciting to know why! Best wishes.

Toni

7/1/2014 00:13:14

S,
Fair enough. I can usually figure out where the writer is going before the book/series is over and am rarely shocked or surprised. With your series however I haven't been able to figure this guy out. So if you need a little more time to put your game face on, I say....GAME ON!

karen link

7/1/2014 01:37:01

Yes I'm disappointed, but I can wait,I've had more fun reading these comments.......

Julian

7/1/2014 02:40:39

Coming on here, a lot of these comments are hurtful, but some of them are the true of the matter. Reading her statement, it is clear that she is rewriting because of the negative reviews that she has been getting from people. To let people's opinions interfere with how you write and ultimately, change your storyline, is a huge downfall to loyal readers. The storyline should be yours, no? Not what other people want it to be and now that I know it isn't going to be completely her ideas and intellectual prowess, I am no longer going to enjoy the book as much I did previously. Again, that is my opinion, but the review comment is fact. I feel really disappointed because she is changing it to please the fans. It should be about her, not us.

LMFAO!!

7/1/2014 03:11:49

So unprofessional of this bitch as a business woman you would be fired from your job if circumstances were different.

lilensky

7/1/2014 09:50:05

I was disappointed that the release did not happen yesterday. Please let us know ahead of time if you won't make the release date. I was very frustrated. I like the series, but am beginning to stay away from books with too many sequels. I would rather read a 300 page book and pay $5 or $6 for it rather than 99 cents each time. Hopefully we WILL HAVe some closure with this installment.

Kim

7/1/2014 10:48:41

I am so proud of you for sticking to your guns and doing what you feel is right. I can't wait to read it when you finish. I am sure the wait will be worth it.

Mindy

7/1/2014 11:30:08

What a bunch of whiners! Please at the beginning ALL of us were told this was going to be 6 short books . At least we were told up front unlike some of these Authors that just keep dragging the story into the "The Never Ending Story". Ms. Edwards is a new writter and from what I have read a very good one. My regular writters take anywhere from 1 to 2 years to release there books, so an extra month is no time at all.
For those of you going off on the author sit down and write a story that makes you proud then bitch. Because I can guarantee that it will take ALOT longer than 20/30 days. Be Well .

Jenny

7/1/2014 11:35:11

People aren't complaining how she is taking the extra time to write it 'bitch'. People are disappointed because she let reviews dictate how the storyline is going to go and the lack of communication. She posted on Facebook the day prior to the release that it was going to go up. Don't get fans waiting at midnight refreshing Amazon like 10023834 times if you ain't going to follow through 'bitch.' Totally unnecessary for you to have to use a curse word, but okay.

Trish M.

7/8/2014 07:44:39

Mindy used the word "bitch" to describe the posters actions. She did not refer to any one person and call "them" a bitch! See the difference? If not, you are proving your ignorance of the English language, and you might be attempting to read material above your reading level. There are some good "cat in the hat" books which are more appropriate to your 1st grade reading comprehension!
To all the posters who feel it necessary to swear at, bash, or put down this author..... GROW UP!!! There are REAL ISSUES in this world that are worthy of losing your cool over. THIS isn't one of them! It's a book, for goodness sakes!!! Yes, we love this series. Yes, we are excited to continue with book 5. It's not life and death here! I, personally, am facing a medical crisis and this series has helped me lose myself for a few hours as I read. I don't claim that my life is in ruins because the book is late to come out. None of us should lose the perspective that this is an escape from reality.... It isn't reality!!! If you choose to stop reading this author's work, fine. It's your choice. Now the rest of us reasonable adults will wait PATIENTLY for book 5. End of!

Screw the people that want the book UY5, if you are not ready to put the book to the public. This is your career, and what you feel about the story not being done. They should be happy that you didn't want to publish a book you don't feel comfortable with. Well, I am glad you want to wait and give me the best UY5 of the year to read. So, I will wait with BELLS ON FOR THE BOOK!!!!

Janice

7/1/2014 12:48:53

I WANTED TO READ IT SO BADLY! DISAPPOINTED

Please hurry but can't wait to read a longer book. You r so talented and I know it will b worth it. I will b checking Amazon atleast twice a day and all the people who say they r done will read the next book. Please let us know when u have a date.

i admit i am disappointed that the release is on hold, but i want to know what happens to Lily. She has been through so much and Jeremy lives up to his name Stonehart i actually hate him for lily so i will wait, Scarlett start 6 so that there is no delay, i was not disappointed in any of the books, all i could do was rush to read the next one.

Courtney Podraza

Mark

7/1/2014 17:09:37

It was a good decision to rewrite UY5. It is so important to release good stuff, the time that this needs is not important.
Its exciting to know, that so much things will happend in UY5.

Keep going on,
Mark

Nora

7/1/2014 18:57:29

I was really hoping she would explain herself…Tell her readers why she left them purposely waiting and didn't share this earlier. But no comment on that. Since this is why people are upset (and the fact that she is getting too influenced by reviewers) it would have helped if she had explained her rude behavior. I think many who were very upset in the first place would have been a little pacified by that.
But since she still thinks this is unnecessary I will stick to my decision that UY4 (which I did NOT consider weak or less intense!!) will be my last book in the series. I will move on to more reliable and honest authors who appreciate their readers and show them some respect

Some of you are absolutely horrible and snarky. It is a BOOK, not the end of the world. Some of you must fall about when they don't have your favorite salad dressing at the grocery store. I would hate to see some of you in a REAL crisis.
Scarlett - you just keep working on that book and get it to what you feel happy with. I'll wait.

Dame Joni

7/2/2014 03:47:27

P.S. I DID NOT consider UY 3 & 4 weak. I have a masters in English and one of the basic tenaments of writing is - write what pleases you. Let the haters hate. If they don't like it they don't have to buy the rest.

Jodie

7/2/2014 07:27:17

Just to put it out there.. I WILL be reading the following books in the series. HOWEVER, I can't believe how badly this was handled. Come 'release date', she has all these fans eagerly searching for her new book. She had numerous posts on fb asking about it. And surprise surprise we hear nothing. Until 2 hours AFTER 'release date' (UK time). Its unprofessional. Its like she sat there just thinking "ahh I'll let them stew a bit longer" Why would you do that? Its clearly annoyed alot of people. Its not making her look good.

Tina Autry

7/2/2014 09:04:04

I bet these same people who are complaining about missing the release date are the same one's complaining that Sylvia Day won't set a release date for Captivated....

Maggie

7/2/2014 09:37:33

No one is complaining about the release date, lol. They are complaining about how she didn't communicate it with us. Mrs. Day convey it with her readers that there isn't a release date - absolutely understandable. This author however, decided to delay the release date once and then once again because of people's reviews. Utterly pathetic that she is taking people's opinion and having it affect her story. Read before you interpret what people are saying.

Where is the book?

Nancy link

7/2/2014 20:27:45

I am disappointed about the delay of UY5, but if Scarlett is going to put 5 and 6 into one full-sized novel, I, for one, am willing to wait. I wasn't at first, but after some thinking and reading about the combo of the two books into one, I am on board again. Thanks for doing that Scarlett. I will be waiting patiently until it comes out. Now that I am getting the newsletter, I won't worry that I will miss it. Meanwhile, I have enough books on my Kindle to read to tide me over until it is out. I look forward to finding out the truth. I have my theory, and am curious to see if I am right. Good luck Scarlett!!

Publicity????

7/2/2014 20:42:35

Anyone think this maybe was a publicity stunt to get more people to buy the series to see what the fuss is all about??? I can't help but wonder, myself....Hmmm........

Mary Roya

7/3/2014 00:53:16

Anything worth doing well sometime takes time. I can wait. I disagree that UY4 was weak. Yes, it didn't take the intensity as the others but I figured it was a set for books to come.

I am so excited to get answers. I do hope Lilly gets some type of revenge.

Keep writing.

Megan Lory

7/3/2014 02:32:01

I don't hope Lily get revenge. I hope that Jeremh will come around and become more understanding. For some reason, I can't help but love him. He just seems so on and off concerning Lilly. I just hope he comes around.

Hi, Scarlett! I have thoroughly enjoyed reading UY1-4 and have been

Teresa

7/3/2014 06:35:52

Hi, Scarlet! I have thoroughly enjoyed reading UY1-4 and have been hooked from the beginning. I love your concept and storyline and am intrigued with how you will bring their story to a conclusion. While I was planning on reading UY5/6 on the beach in the Caribbean while celebrating my 25th wedding anniversary, I will simply read another book during that time. It is more important that you be true to yourself and your characters instead of appeasing a group of naysayers. In the mean time, ignore the nasty comments and ugly name-calling. Frankly, it speaks volumes about the flaws in their character. I look forward to reading what everyone wants...A great book!

Erin

7/3/2014 17:28:17

Enough with all the delays already! What makes it worse is that you had the audacity to not convey the message to readers who were waiting on you since midnight. You didn't release it because people had their share of reviews and they didn't liked how the story was going? For your information, it is YOUR story - no one else. Their opinions shouldn't have an input on how you write as an author.

Thank you so much, Scarlett, for letting all of us know the status of UY5. I've been checking it's availability on Amazon for the past month, and to say the least it was a tad frustrating. If you aren't satisfied with the results, then it is must assuredly we won't be either. Publish it when you think it's ready and not when people think you should. Can't wait til then.

Well although I don't really want to wait for UY5 any longer I wholeheartedly agree with your decision - and your readers (including myself) will be thanking you for it (no pressure huh ;-)).

Looking forward to the release a lot - I hope your writing goes well!

Thank you! I'm eager to read it and anxious for it to come out; however, this is YOUR book, not ours and we can only trust that you are trying to make it perfect. Thank you and good luck!

Hurry up with the book. It's clear that you don't take yor job serious cause if this was the business world, your ass would be fired already. So unprofessional of you to delay it once and then delay it a second time. Fuck you.

Really looking foward to reading

7/4/2014 13:19:52

Cannot wait to see UY5 - checking amazon daily!

OMFG

I enjoyed UY4 but I can see how maybe the story was becoming lost. I guess this can happen when the parts to a series are published before the whole story has been written. I am really looking forward to UY5.

Any idea on release date yet?!?! About to have to move on to another book. I keep rereading these so I won't forget what has happened.

New to this series. Don't like to read a series until all chapters are available. How many books will there be? Don't like having to wait for a conclusion, read straight through a series. Will need to start book one again when all books are in place.

Just read comments! Too bad people can't all be sane!

Vienna

7/7/2014 14:26:13

Fuck this shit. Its clear that it not going to go up anytime soon. Probably at the end of the month. Why double the length when you should just focus on getting one book out since you already missed the due date twice. Fuck you. You're lucky I want to know how it turns out with Jeremy cause I love and adore him. Other than that though, I am done after this series. Enough with all the delays already. -__-

Being creative takes time. I appreciate the hard work you are doing. Writing is not easy and you can't please everyone. Just do what you need to do. I'll wait.

Keep writing.

OMFG

7/8/2014 06:22:05

CAN YOU PLEASE HURRY UP? I CAN'T WAIT ANYMORE. I WANT TO SEE JEREMY DOMINATE LILLY IN A LOVING WAY.

Lyndsay

7/8/2014 12:32:38

Can you please give us some idea of when book 5 will be released? Pretty please??

Emma

7/8/2014 19:04:12

So apparently, Jeremy is leaving Lilly in the dark. And Scarlett is leaving her readers in the dark :-(

Patti

7/9/2014 06:35:52

Wow! People really get upset, huh? Just write it and your fans will read it. It's just a book!! We're not saving the world with it, jeesh!

Patti

7/9/2014 06:45:37

By the way, I have really been entertained by this series. I'm even writing on your blog, which I have never done! Take your time writing! I hate it when a series just fizzles out. Do it with style. Don't worry about the pissy people of the world. It just means they need to get laid!

Beth

7/9/2014 12:14:42

I agree that you shouldn't let your fans determine the story ... I know creativity takes time and ... creativity ... this can't be pushed ... but it WOULD be nice to know when it is coming ...
It's a testament to how how well you write if so many people are so upset about waiting on the next part in the series ...
Good luck ... I can't wait to see what happens next.

OMFG

7/9/2014 15:32:11

I WANT TO MASTURBATE TO JEREMY ALREADY. PLEASE HURRY UP.

7/9/2014 23:28:43

A good book that doesn't ejaculate the ending at you like the author got bored is better than one that is delivered on time. Thank you for taking the time to make it great. That's what real writers do.

Sophia

7/10/2014 00:11:29

Thank you so much for writing this amazing series!!! I have not been this captivated about a series in so long that I almost forgot the joyful feeling of being lost in the characters' world. Even though I am eager to read what happens next, please take your time to make it perfect. Cannot wait for your next instalment :)

Lety

7/10/2014 06:45:19

Its been ten days at least post a release date for us

7/10/2014 08:29:55

Agreed! Some sort of update would be nice.

Brandy

7/10/2014 07:35:16

So excited about UCY 5.. Can you give us some kind of update? I know you said July but I am butting my nails for the release. Trying to keep my mind occupied by reading other books.. So glad you put so much effort into this book. Can't wait!!

OMFG

7/10/2014 15:09:12

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE OH GOD I WANT JEREMY SO BADLY. CAN YOU PLEASE HURRY UP WITH THE RELEASE?

Emma

7/10/2014 18:46:39

I get the feeling this is really just some kind of marketing scheme…I feel kind of, well…, as a reader who pays for these books I have a really bad feeling. I mean even she doesn't come out with a release date, some sort of update would be fair. But yeah, I think this has been planned from early on

Trish M.

7/11/2014 00:22:18

I just went to the books section on Ms. Edwards site. Under UY6, she has (finally) given a date as to when this book will be released. I'm not sure, but I think that the blog stated UY5 and UY6 were to be merged into one book. If so, this leads me to believe that the combined book should be released on 7/30/2914!!!!! Hope I'm correct!!! I'm still waiting, as patiently as humanly possible! Go, Scarlett!!! Write that baby!!!! 😉👍👏

Karen

7/11/2014 00:22:30

Will this wrap up to the series? I've not had great experiences with books written/published this way and had promised not to get "caught" again, but the reviews were enticing and, despite my best intentions, was pulled in. Let us know soon...my summer reading options are dwindling.

Hannah

7/11/2014 08:33:11

I have commented in a few different blogs, and to b honest, the authors have always responded, some to every comment. i find it so rude to ignore the fans who are ur bread and butter. While you guys are waiting, check out This Man trilogy by Jodi Ellen Malpas. All the books are out, and it is the best series I have ever read. I am just a fan and do not get anything out of recommending this trilogy. But just to pass the time, it is funny, romantic and dirty.

I love the this man series.. Jesse ward is such a hot dom & sex lord.. Yes that series Is Extremely good and Jodi will not let you down.

maybe you should consider updating your site which states "A new book is released every 20 days!"

Paila

7/14/2014 01:47:34

I agree that that she should update her site, but most if all common courtesy of a response from her should be given to us, her loyal readers. I know she reads the post to this blog.. so she knows how we feel but doesn't appear to care.

Nola chic

7/12/2014 09:45:27

Anxiously awaiting

Emma

7/14/2014 07:46:29

The idea that she's really reading all of these comments but doesn't give a damn makes me sad and disappointed

Tisha

7/14/2014 13:31:24

How much more disrespectfull can you be with your readers.Show us some respect and update us even if it is to say that you don't have a definite release date yet

Katherine

7/24/2014 13:36:44

What do you think this is? THIS is an update saying that she doesn't have a definite date. She is re-writing it for our sakes, and impatient people like you don't deserve it. BTW, respectful only has one L. After the first sentence, instead of a period, you should have a question mark with a space.

Kiki

7/15/2014 01:35:03

Any time now...July almost over!!!! Tell us something

tisha

7/17/2014 10:15:43

She said something on fb about she is not ready yet and cant give a definite date Yet

Kat

7/18/2014 17:17:43

I have read 1-3. I'm basically holding off on 4 because I know I'll be even MORE impatient not having 5 to follow. I hope you're pulling yourself together and actually finishing it! I know a lot of people are saying they're through with you but I intend to finish this series. July is almost done! HUSTLE WOMAN!!!!!

Emma

7/18/2014 20:44:11

A sneak peak, anything...PLEASE

Maria

7/19/2014 08:18:29

REALLY? No response to your fans, no book, not even a postcard...NOTHING?!

Maria

7/19/2014 08:19:50

WOW......

Lyn

7/19/2014 14:01:11

If u read her facebook page, she has updated that saying she has finished UY5 and just sent it off to editor. It will be out soon and she will post little teasers soon on fb.

Normally I don't leave comments on these blogs but, what the hell, why not right??
Scarlett, I have been reading these posts and a lot of mixed reviews. As a writer, I have to agree with many on here. Forget the fact that you pissed people off with not 1 but, a couple delays on this next installment but more importantly, you've sold out! You wrote something that was your idea and now, you admit to changing it due to fans reactions on here. So, this next installment is written not by you per say but, written now, by your fans. That is just sad! I was looking forward to U5 but sadly, I will not be purchasing it. I wanted to read something from you, not your fans. I could do that for free just by coming here. I told many people about this series and now, have told them to move on and spend their money on writers who put out a complete book or look for completed series. I hope this has not hurt you too much and you go on to putting out completed books in the future. I will just have to imagine my own ending for Lilly. I guess that is what we would be getting anyway.

Lisa

7/21/2014 09:49:38

I love the series and cant wait for the next one to come out.

Shells

Hi Scarlett,

I was one of the readers that beat you up pretty bad on UY4 and UY5. I did feel less of the enthusiasm in both those books there was a lull of sorts in the storyline. I am happy that you are doing what you honestly feel is the right thing to do. It is after all your work, unfortunately criticism comes with the territory and while it can hurt if looked at objectivity can make you the better writer by knowing what your fans hope enjoy in your books. I look forward to the rewrite. Relax and enjoy the ride of your writing.

Shells

7/22/2014 14:41:21

Apologies! I mean UY3 and UY4.

When is UY6 coming out? You said that the books would be coming out approx. every 20 days, but it has been longer than that since UY5 came out. Anything to let us know dates of release would be appreciated

Maria Pinti

9/2/2014 17:46:51

Any idea when UY6 is being released? Just curious, do you plan on completing this series?

Uncovering You 5 is done… but I’m not releasing it.
