The books have kidnapped me. Someone help.
I'm almost through with both of the final Elder Empire books, which is why I've mostly been radio silent recently, but seriously I've written more in the last few months than I ever have before. I basically had to start over on these books, since the material I've used for them has been created over the last several years, so my vision for the story and my skill as a writer have both changed over time. Now I spend my days screaming at my keyboard hoping that the sheer force of my will can produce words faster. Book review / recommendation coming soon! It's a long-overdue recommendation of Mike Shel's Aching God, which is a dark fantasy that tackles dungeon crawling from a vividly realized new angle. I liked it a lot. After that, maybe book news. Who knows? Because it depends on how fast I can continue to write. Now let me see if I have the strength left in my tired fingers to update the progress meter. -Will

Still happily awaiting these, and still in awe of the ambition and deftness of plotting you've already shown in this series.

If we start a gofund me and an automatic service to bring you Oreos and milk every Friday for the next 6 months will that help?

I don't know if writing words is anything like writing code but there have been a few times I have rewritten large blocks of code and when that happens the writing has been profoundly better. I expect the same

I agree, I enjoyed the first two book series but the writing wasn't nearly at the level of Cradle. I'm extremely excited to see where these two books go, and for a quick return to writing WinterSteel!!

The Aching God is pretty good. It was a very interesting read. Book two, well, to each his or her own. Still, very much so looking forward to book three. Have you read The Traitor God or God of Broken Things? Those were pretty interesting reads in a very similar setting and tone.

He thinks he can escape and actually finish off a good series, how foolish. The Elder Empire will come out when One Piece ends, which is effectively never.

In keeping with previous release timeframes, I estimate that we'll have the book(s) by March-April which is still a fantastic pace, especially since there are two books instead of one. Keep up the good work Will! looking forward to reading the conclusion!

Finishing them will be your greatest triumph, Will. Finish them before they finish you. In other words, will you be a King or a Killer?

Will, do you still have that red bong you had in high school? Those were some good times. When you finish the books, you should grab old faithful and head out to our old stomping grounds by the park. A,couple of hits and your creative juices will start flowing again. I miss those days. Let me know and I will come meet you.

I know first hand what an impressive feat it is to read in a different language (I live in france). Bravo! Will's books are complicated, and if you managed to understand them, awesome. I know i couldn't read a book like will's in french.
