The Huffington Post Says I Shouldn't Publish a Lot - Should I?

Recently, The Huffington Post published an article titled "Dear Self-Published Author: Do NOT Write Four Books a Year."

Michaelbrent Collings answered Kristin's question: Hi Michael, I am an avid reader of horror, zombie apocalypse, pandemic type stories. I can't believe it's taken me this long to find your work! I am in the middle of the Complete Colony Saga and I'm hooked! The nonstop action is incredible. I can't wait to see the ending and move on to more of your great writing! Do you have more like this? Thank you, Kristin Hi, Kristin! First of all, sorry for the response lag - I am NOT good at looking at my Goodreads page!

FANTASTIC series that ended with a whimper. I respected what Shusterman was trying to do, but found it incohesive, in comparison with the tightly-plotted and excellently-characterized first two books.
