An Article To Read And Ponder About

The Boston Globe has written an eye-popping article about, authors feeling the pressure to publish a book once a year.

I found it to be very interesting, seeing as in the past we would be lucky to see a book from our favorite authors in maybe a 2 or 3 year period, rather in some cases, less than a year.

Is this the case of being in a "Hamster Wheel" as top author Dennis Lehane states?

As a reader, do we expect too much from our authors? Should authors push themselves to keep writing a book a year? Is it expected?

And as an author, published or otherwise, we would love to hear your thoughts.
