In which we ramble on.
And by we, I mean me.

At Dawn, It Comes For You

9/26/2016

Soulsmith comes! Flee for your lives!

I'm uploading it tonight, which means it should go live tomorrow morning. Set your alarms to "early."

Also, starting tomorrow, Unsouled will be on sale for free for the duration of the next five days. It's a good time to get started on the series, if you haven't already.

For those of you on the mailing list, I'll be sending you a message about the release shortly. Then, when the book page is live, I'll send you another one with an accurate link.

​And that's one long story, delivered as promised before the end of the month. But I'm aware that I owe you two short ones.

​-Will

Woooo! Awesome. I will be devouring this instead of doing work! Of course you will get a nice review on Amazon as well :P


P.S. If for any reason you need more beta readers, I'd be happy to jump aboard. I'm not new to the business either ;)

P.P.S

If you're still conflicted about writing a romance, I will say you did a really bang up job with the ones in the Elder Empire series. Just because it's organic and not at the forefront doesn't mean it isn't good!

From one joke about romance in a blog post, I received dozens of passionate responses with very strong opinions.

Now I'm doubly afraid to write a romance. I feel like if I do it poorly, I'll open my door one day to be torn apart by a crowd of shrieking fanzombies. And if I do it well, they'll tear me apart even more enthusiastically.

Why are you worried about that? You just had a fan promise to give your new book a nice review before the fan even read it.

That's a great point, John. I failed to respond to Ravi's goodwill in favor of my own zombie-fueled nightmares.

Ravi, check your email. I'm sending you a Beta Reader Golden Ticket. That's a thing now.

Aww thanks Will, you didn't have to. I had written the review already anyway :D

Will,
I have been following you since House of Blades. You have evolved as an author by leap and bounds. I have been recommending you to my friends and you have never let me down.
Thank you so much for providing such awesome contribution to fanatsy genre.

For reading me all this time, thank you! I try to push myself to learn and grow with every book, so I appreciate your patience!

Maybe one day I will achieve my ultimate goal of writing a story SO immersive that it opens a portal and draws you inside.

I'm very excited to read it. I cant wait for Lindon to become a badass and go back to his village to show off his badassery while saving them from destruction. I know it will probably be a while, but, I'm looking forward to it.

P.S. I'm signing the petition for shipping Simon and Leah.

I should never have mentioned romance. It was a horrible mistake.

That can of worms has been opened now Will. Cant be put back. In all seriousness though, i would love a romance, especially in travellers gate because it really fleshes out characters. It is one of the best and deepest froms of character development.

Saw an email from the mailing list, and thought it was a short story, but now I'm on hype overload! I was extremely disappointed when I heard you were delaying OKAK to write this series, so much so that even though I bought Cradle day one I hadn't read it until this week. (Spite? Sorrow? Amnesia? )

However, I literally finished Cradle last night (which by the way is fantastic just like all of your other books) so your timing with this release is impeccable!

Keep up the great work, you're easily one of my all time favorite authors.

Oops meant that I finished Unsouled obviously. See, there's that amnesia kicking in.

Can we get a temporal reversion to make that mistake disappear?

Do I look like Suriel to you?

To be completely honest, I didn't even notice that you'd used the wrong title until you pointed it out. I was calling the first book "Cradle" during the entire process of writing it, right up until I had to make up a title for the cover.

Even then, the first title I came up with was "The Fox and the Phoenix," and it was only when I didn't like that cover that I landed on Unsouled for the second and final cover design.

Even now, I usually call it Cradle.

Contrary to my aggressive release date, I usually do work at a pretty healthy pace.

That said, I am pretty tired right now.

YES!!! This is so awesome. I finished Unsouled last week and I immediately went to look for the sequel only to see that it was still a WIP and my heart broke a little.

I'm glad that my wait wasn't as long as I expected. But now I'm dreading the wait for next time...

And where do I sign to have the romance happen?

Reply

It's not TOO much of a wait. This one was only three months. There are plenty of things you can do for three months, like having yourself cryogenically frozen.

Dude...I welcomed my second child this weekend and now this. Pretty solid week if I do say so. Congrats and thanks for the hard work!

I guess a baby is ALMOST as exciting and important as a new fantasy release. Or at least close.

For real, though, congrats!

If I had a link, Jim, I'd give it to you. Or would I? Maybe I'd hoard it. Keep all the links to myself. Swim in my vault of links like Scrooge McDuck with his gold.
