Everything Happens at Once! Also, World's Worst Picture of Will!

8/29/2013

An interview with me just went live over here, so apparently it went up at the same time as Crimson Vault.

This was not planned, but it worked out.

Check out the article for some largely fabricated answers and the worst picture of me in all existence!

Here's the story behind the picture: I had a horrible cold, but I couldn't find a picture of me that fit the magazine's requirements for the story. So I had to take a picture with my iPhone, even though my face is all red and puffy.

I swear I don't normally look like that.

...normally it's even worse.

Speaking of which, Crimson Vault has somehow sold almost a hundred copies. How did you do that, guys? How? Amazon still says it's not published.

You have an eccentric naming sense in your family, Mr. Third.

33rd! YES! That's how many levels there are to get to Judge-level!

Not really.

Rothfuss has a better beard, Will. You've got a long way to go to compete with him.

In the battle of beards, I fight unarmed.

It's a futile gesture to try and compete with Rothfuss in beardliness, anyway. The man is like a big, burly dwarf.

Will is the crimson vault coming out in the uk today? I can't get it for some reason but it's there on the U.S amazon site.

Hey Rhys. He addressed it in a different blog post, but the reason it's not out on the UK yet is because Amazon hasn't actually finished reviewing the book, so it isn't available on all of their domains yet. He doesn't have any control over that until Amazon finishes checking it out. But as soon as its finished and available, there will be a blog post saying so. Thanks for your patience!

Sorry about that, Rhys; I've done everything I can on my end, and we're all just waiting on Amazon to catch up at this point. It SHOULD have released in the UK at the same time.

I really am sorry. I'm sending Amazon an email. If there was anything else I could do, I'd do it.

Thanks for all the effort Will. I'll definitely pick it up when the UK amazon site puts it up.

I thoroughly enjoyed the first book,and I am eagerly awaiting more!

Rhys

Not a problem. Just wanted to know what was happening. Do you have any Idea when it will be out? I'll get back to reading C.S. Forester in the meantime.

Devin

Hey Rhys and other UK fans. The UK version is up. Here is the link if it isn't showing up in the search http://www.amazon.co.uk/Crimson-Vault-Travelers-Trilogy-ebook/dp/B00EV12PH0/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1377810764&sr=8-2&keywords=Crimson+vault

Thanks Will and Devin for the help. Just getting started now.

got the book almost half way through, loving it so far. do we have a rough release date for the 3rd book?

Johannes

I think, Will mentioned somewhere early next year. Pls correct me if I'm wrong

Through your link to the book even though it isn't in your amazon page.

Will Wight link

8/29/2013 01:30:44 pm

In keeping with the rest of this release, Amazon says the book "should show up on my Amazon page within 24 hours."

I really need to figure out a way to coordinate with them better. I'm just doing what I can, and then waiting on them.

James

and... we're up in the UK, thanks a lot Will

Did the book go up in the US yet? I can't find it on amazon. I'm very excited to read the sequel!

John

I found it! Off to bed with the book. I will emerge some time tomorrow.

just finished Crimson Vault amazing awesome and every other positive word in the dictionary. now to figure out how to time travel, 2014 can't come sooner.

Yeah those loose ends are gonna kill me for the next 6 months.

If you do manage to learn to time travel, bring a copy back for Will. I'm sure he'll appreciate being able to publish his work early without actually having to do any work. Oh, and bring back a copy of the cover art so he can send it to his artists and thank them for their hard work as well. Last thing, get me some winning lottery numbers and tell me who wins the Superbowl and what the point spread is. And if you wouldn't mind getting me a digital copy of Words of Radiance, I would really appreciate it.

No problem, but it'll just be my luck to figure out time travel when the book comes out.

I woke up this morning and laid there in bed. I hastily put on some pants and headed downstairs to make my cup of tea. On my way I spotted my kindle, and thought," Huh i wonder if its the 29th yet?" I searched for Will Wight and bam spent all day either reading your book, eating, mowing my grandmother's lawn or some combination thereof. I also admit to reading your book while driving to her house, I have been a master of this technique for sometime.

I thoroughly enjoyed the book Will. Thanks for all your effort so far.

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it, and I'm proud to have distracted you from your work. Hopefully you didn't crash your car while reading and die, and this is your ghost trying to drive me to a guilty suicide.

Nah, just bond with his Remnant and become a lowgold

P.S. Yes I'm commenting kind of late. I'm reading through your whole blog.......................its gonna take a while I think.

I thoroughly enjoyed the book. One fear is that it was strangely reminiscent of "the blinding knife." I can't wait for the next one. This one was better than the previous.

Devin

8/29/2013 01:48:31 pm

I'm a huge brent weeks fan so you piqued my curiosity. Are you able to pinpoint what spoke to you as reminiscent of it by chance without spoilers? I was only curious because I wouldn't have pegged that one as an influence as much.

frank

8/29/2013 11:07:55 pm

The short answer is no. Devin give it a read then let me know whether you see it. I promise you it is worth your time.

Will Wight link

8/29/2013 11:37:06 pm

Devin's read The Blinding Knife, he just doesn't understand the comparison.

I get it now that I think about it, though honestly it surprised me. It hadn't ever occurred to me before, but...yeah, there are some similarities.

Not that I mind that too much; Black Prism and Blinding Knife are great books. That specific similarity just didn't occur to me until you pointed it out.

Man, it was hard writing that without spoilers.

Bought the book right when I got home from work and plowed through it in ~5 hours. Thoroughly enjoyed - you deserve every penny, really captivating stuff. Wish the 3rd book was out as quickly as the 2nd one so we could have a conclusion! Definitely be waiting eagerly for the finale. thanks for a good end of summer read.

Just finished the 2nd book...it was awesome...I can't wait for the third!

Instead of a trilogy could you make it into a saga? I really don't want this amazing story and group of characters to end.

Hey Will. Loved the book more than I could say right now. But one thing that did kind of aggravate me was the fact that other than the ice horn, he didn't earn anything new. Well, excluding the mask. I was wondering that in the City of Light that he might go through more rooms and earn more abilities. And I know you might want to even think about the City of Light yet but I'm already waiting it's release

Mask is hurt

12/18/2016 04:15:37 pm

A cool mask not enough? Its his coolest power!

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