I heard that new chapters won't go up on ABC until August, bummer….. 

So much for hoping for new chapters every week :(

I've been holding off asking about more chapters online until people are back from their break, don't want to "talk shop" while they're taking time off.

August makes sense though, if they are planning on releasing 10 chapters again, then there's simply too much time between now and September for them to release them every week.

I understand why you'd want to hold back on the shop talk while they're on break.

But as for releasing the rest of the free chapters on August… I mean, yeah, it would be too much time in between now and September when the show comes back from hiatus. But I was thinking that maybe they could pace the release of each chapter, like say, one chapter for every four weeks or so. There are usually four weeks in every month. In between now, or at least the beginning of June, up to September, we can already have five chapters, one for every month (counting the one already out). Then, once the show comes back at the end of September, they can release the remaining five (if they're giving out 10 again) chapters on a weekly basis. By then, the episode of the release party and the actual book release would be much closer in days. That way, they can have people lining up to get the book after getting teased with one chapter at a time without having to wait too long for the next installment.

Yes, call me crazy for actually doing the math, but I have thought this through. 

Naked Heat description according to Amazon.com:

Nikki Heat and Jameson Rook are together again in Richard Castle's
thrilling follow-up to his New York Times bestseller, Heat
Wave.

When New York's most vicious gossip columnist, Cassidy
Towne, is found dead, Heat uncovers a gallery of high profile suspects,
all with compelling motives for killing the most feared muckraker in
Manhattan.

Heat's murder investigation is complicated by her
surprise reunion with superstar magazine journalist Jameson Rook. In the
wake of their recent breakup, Nikki would rather not deal with their
raw emotional baggage. But the handsome, wise-cracking Pulitzer
Prize-winning writer's personal involvement in the case forces her to
team up with Rook anyway. The residue of their unresolved romantic
conflict and crackling sexual tension fills the air as Heat and Rook
embark on a search for a killer among celebrities and mobsters, singers
and hookers, pro athletes and shamed politicians.

This new,
explosive case brings on the heat in the glittery world of secrets,
cover-ups, and scandals.

Thank your hrhigness oh September seems so far away…
