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

Keep an Eye Out for Gardens of Mist!

12/31/2013

Happy New Year, ladies and gentlemen! Here's the deal: Gardens of Mist is finished, it's ready, and I'll be uploading it ASAP.

As usual, Amazon has to put the book up on their end after I upload it, which can take as much as a day. Based on how long it took them last time, I suspect Gardens of Mist will be available for sale late this afternoon or evening.

That's a guess, though. Once I upload it, which will happen soon, it's all in Amazon's smooth, delicate hands.

I'm sure you guys know the drill by this point: Gardens of Mist will show up if you search for it before it will show up on my Amazon page, so it will be available for sale hours before it officially shows up on my page.

Once I get a link that works, I'll put it up here. But there are more of you than there are of me, so if you're able to buy a copy before I post a link on the blog, let me know! Send me an email or leave a comment with a link to the book, and I'll update as soon as I can.

Hope you enjoy it, and Happy New Year's!

I don't know about yours, but my 2013 was pretty fantastic.

-Will

You know, I read most of these comments days before I respond, but somehow I missed this one. I'm saving this link.

I can't believe it, but yeah, it's up! I just bought a copy myself. I'm actually in the car, and I won't be able to make an official blog post until tonight, but the link above definitely works.

Thanks!

Naturally, I've already found a typo.

In the second story, there's a sentence that begins "Gems of precious metal," which is nonsense. It should be "Rings of precious metal."

I'll fix it tonight, but I thought you ought to know.

Happy New Year to you Will and to my fellow readers. I am very excited about the book. Anyone found a UK link?

Reply

If history is any indication, the UK link will go live a little after the US one. I have no idea why.

If it's still not up in the UK tomorrow, let me know.

Hmm. I dug the asphodel story, felt like a good horror short story. I don't know if you've read it, but when i was a kid i read a short story about a Lottery, this gave off a similar vibe.

And I dug the Valin short too. Was interesting

That would be Shirley Jackson's The Lottery, I would imagine. You know, I didn't intend the parallel, but I can absolutely see the connection now that you point it out. It is kind of similar, isn't it?

OK, just bought the second of the Traveler's Gate Chronicles "Garden's of Mist". It will probably take me a few days to read it. I thoroughly enjoyed your Winter Tower too, but am hoping that the early 2014 release date for the third book in your Traveler's Gate Trilogy "City of Light" is coming out soon...maybe?...please...

I enjoy your writing way too much and read it way too quickly!

Thanks,
Dan

I'm glad you enjoyed it, Dan!

As for City of Light, I'm still aiming for February, but I usually set overly optimistic goals. More realistically, expect a March release.

Your name's not highlighted in blue, and you didn't capitalize my initials or the first word of the sentence. I respect the attempt, though.

Also, protip: I'm never going to quit writing, and I would absolutely not cancel the last book in a series unless I died. If you're going to wear my skin like a coat and steadily become me, say something that I might actually say...

For instance, "Yeah, I know I said early 2014, but now I'm thinking June."

Or... "Hey, I know you're all waiting for City of Light, but I had this really great idea for another novel. So instead of finishing the trilogy this spring, I'm going to start a new trilogy this summer! New City of Light release date TBA."

These are troll-ish moves that are actually somewhat believable, coming from a shady character like me. Remember: the more truth that is in a lie, the more believable it is.

Teaching you to steal his identity since 2014, it's Will Wight!

Or “Hey, I know you’ve all been waiting for OKAK, but I had this really great idea for another novel. So instead of finishing...”

You should never have taught the trolls to steal your identity so well. This whole time I was blaming you.

I really enjoyed it. I really liked Valins Story. I got a real sense of his personality and his curiosity and how he began to put items together to make the Valinhall artifacts. I would love to see just a story about him and his creations. Keep it up!

Gary,

Thanks, Gary! This was something of a test run for me, writing Valin. I was hoping to get more of a sense for his voice as a character before I wrote his novel/novella, and I wanted to do so in a scene that wouldn't show up in a longer work. So we got this story, where I hopefully planted a few seeds that I can follow up on later.
