As a writer there are times when certain things are out of your control. When you finish a book it's a great feeling and you cant wait to get it into hand of readers. But finishing the book is just the first step, and you might not be able to (and probably shouldn't) do the rest by yourself. Editing, cover art, and formatting have to be done and if you can do some of it great. If not you need to wait for people to fit you into their schedules.
While waiting for the edits and covers (this is where I'm at with the next book in my Heiresses In Aprons Series) you start getting you promo lists together, but you can't really book anything until you have firm release dates in place. So once you have everything back you can start formatting (and book those promo spots!). For some people this is something they can easily do.
The point I'm trying to make here is that just like a lot of jobs and things in life for writers there is a lot of hurry up and wait that goes on. When you're dying to get your hands on your favorite author's newest or coming soon books just remember they want you to have it too. But they also want you to have the best book they can write, which can take time.
