A New Year

1/1/2016

A new year is upon us, so I thought I'd comment on what's coming up for my characters this year. But first, here's a look at what's up for me:

Of Kings and Killers & Of Killers and Kings: Expected Summer 2016

New Traveler's Gate: Expected Sometime 2016

Something New: After Traveler's Gate

After that, I plan on alternating Traveler's Gate with something new for at least the next year. And those are my plans for 2016, folks. Ambitious, expecting four books in a year? Yes. Possible? Hopefully!

Now, here's what my characters have to look forward to in their upcoming year:

Calder has to learn how to become a better Emperor and unify the Empire once again, preferably before the world cracks in half.

Shera is looking forward to killing Calder (as well as quite a few others), but she's not looking forward to leading a fractious Guild that has always been guided by committee.

And Simon gets to try and revitalize his Territory, build up a new generation of Valinhall Travelers, and restore the lost Dragon's Fangs...all the while guarding the Queen of Damasca and protecting the world from now-uncontrolled Incarnations. Meanwhile, a new threat rises, because...

...well, because it's a new book. There's always a new threat rising.

Thanks for your support and your attention in 2015, and I hope that I can continue to entertain you this year as well!

Happy New Year!

The pair of lines
"We don't have time to discuss this in committee" and "I am NOT a committee!" come to mind

I'm prepared to be embarrassed if that's something I should know, but I don't know it.

I am so excited you are an amazing writer. I can not wait to see where the stories go. Have a wonderful New Year!

Thanks, you too! May 2016 be even better than 2015.

Will, I love your consistency almost as much as your books. I didn't think you would get back to Traveler's Gate as so quickly, but you have exceeded expectations.

I continue to hope Calder and Shera learn to put their differences aside in the final installment, despite every definitive statement that they won't. Then again, I want to see Lucas again, because magic.

Magic makes things so much more complicated, doesn't it?

Thanks, Matt! I know, as a reader, that I like consistent content more than anything, so I try to keep producing books. My hope this year is that I get better at it, so I don't keep trapping myself in a weird crunch-time production loop.

That statement makes more sense if you're me.

We can only hope you are able to achieve your proposed pace. Shaping up to be a good year of reading.

Here's hoping I can stick to my nebulous deadlines, Kevin.

all those books sound great to me! YOU HAVE ONE MONTH TO GET THEM ALL DONE AND OUT!!!!! you don't need to eat a sleep or even breath air right? one month for four books is child's play to you right?

Anyone who says it takes longer than a week to write an entire novel is a LIAR.

Whenever I get updates like this. I get a giddy feeling in me. I'm not usually an emotional guy, but your books have inspired that childlike sense of adventure within me.

Except it's a lot less violent... (Childhood Cartoons are surprisingly brutal)

I know that feeling, Phillip, and I'm proud to have evoked it in you.

Also, since I'm too lazy to respond to your other comments separately, I'll address them here:

Thanks for giving my books a shot! I'm glad you enjoyed them, and I'm definitely glad you're starting to write. If you have any questions, shoot me an email. I'd be happy to chat.

How did you stumble on House of Blades in the first place?

I have been away, but I am very pleased to know I have some good reading to look forward to.

Happy writing

Whoa, whoa, whoa, I just promised you'd have something to read. No one said anything about "good."

Your books are awesome Will! Im really looking forward to seeing your next installment in Traveler's Gate series. By far one of my most favorite series. Will it be another trilogy like the others?

These books are so good! I can't wait to have another traveler's gate book! The short stories are going to be awesome! Now I'll have things to read. Love you Will :)

Thanks, Sarah! This coming story is pretty short, but there's more Simon on the way!
