blake : we were talking about this recently , how if serial killers uncut ( hereinafter , `` sku '' ) had been released by a legacy publisher , it would have taken us over two years to get to this point , and ... ( a ) no one would have gotten to read serial , bad girl , truck stop , serial uncut , killers , killers uncut , or birds of prey yet ; and ( b ) even worse , we would just now be turning this novel in , which means it still would n't be coming out for another 12-18 months , which is what , three and a half years after we initially released serial ?
