You're really not letting us down. I recognize that my own sense of entitlement only exists in my head.
I will wait as long as is necessary for new Kaylin. A new book to me is better than being six, and waking up early the only day of the year I didn't have to be awakened. I also have that same sense of time passing so slowly in waiting for a new book that a child does. The unfortunate thing, for me, is that it only takes me an hour or two to consume the book I have been dying to read. Then I have weeks and weeks and even years to wait for new. I even try to make myself wait - I preorder or purchase on the day of release, and just look at the pretty cover. I pick it up and put it down, learning the cover by heart so I can see every bit of it, including the words on the jacket, behind my eyelids. When I finally cannot stand it any longer, I read all of the other books in the series again, finally coming to the new chapter in a few hours, depending upon how many books there were. After an hour or two, the new has been finished. Usually I read it again, so that I can make the book a part of me, to make sure I haven't forgotten anything, to make sure I haven't missed learning something, and relive my favorite parts. After that, I have to wait. Then a few weeks later, as I am still consumed by my favorite characters, I will read the book again. When I find the suspense is overwhelming, I will slowly read the series again - meaning no more than one book in the series in one day, spreading it out as much as possible. For the year or so, or more that I wait for a new entry, many permutations of this routine are observed, even though Kaylin is already a part of me, and I really haven't forgotten anything.
Oh, and I am making myself wait for 'new' because I will read all of your books, eventually. I know that when I start other books, I will not be able to stop.
So while the 'new' is short, that is my issue and not the author's, although I appreciate your feelings. /ramble
