I don't think anyone will believe me, but I've never been pressured by a publisher to churn out a book.
I think there's a general misconception that anything written quickly lacks quality, and I don't believe that.
The bottom line is that a chain is only as strong as its weakest link. And I have to believe from past experience and knowledge that some of the links in Homeland Security are weak. Part of the story in "Lost Light" is about a weak link in the chain.
