If you're signed up for the mailing list, the new story is going out right now! It's actually a deleted scene from Of Darkness and Dawn, showing a historical interaction between the ancient Consultant's Guild and the Great Elders. I've been saving it for a while, because I couldn't figure out where to use it in the books. Hope you enjoy it! In other news, ...coming soon.

I'm so excited! I need other authors like Sanderson and Rothfuss to take notes from you on how to put out quality books so quickly!

Sanderson and Rothfuss are excellent. You are as good a world builder if not better. Your different forms magic/power and how it creates a whole culture in every series impresses me. I have read everything you have written and buy your books as soon as they are released.

Your work actually does remind me somewhat of Sanderson. You create unique magic systems for your novels. Both of your magic systems are always interesting and seem logical. Both of your stories tend to do a wonderful job of tying together loose ends.
That's frighteningly accurate, Patrick.

You know, Patrick, that's actually kinda funny and seriously spot on! Just a couple of days ago I was watching one of Sanderson's BYU-lectures (they're on YouTube if you wanna see) about the difference between outline-writers and discovery-writers, and what you're describing is pretty much what you're saying here. Sanderson says that he's a definite outline-writer, and from what Will replied to you, he's definitely more of a discovery-writer. :D It aaaaall makes sense!

Kelarac is spectacular every time you show him to us... Or even mention him in passing as it turns out, thanks for sharing to keep us starving readers going between releases.

As fast as "physically possible"? If you can physically type at 60 words per minute, it should take less than 60 hours for you to knock out 200,000 words. So, it should be physically possible to finish in a couple weeks.

Are you implying that you can finish in a couple weeks?

I know you said the Cradle series has room to grow and no planned ending points right now. Do you have any idea on how many books will make up the series when all is said and done?
Reply
No, because it has room to grow and no planned ending point.

That's good to know. It's difficult for me to get into a series when it seems like there isn't a story arc with an ending at some point, so it's good to know that it will eventually have a completion point. I don't mind longer series (Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time and Brandon Sanderson Stormlight Archive come to mind to mind) when they're well written and all of your novels have been so far.
It's not as focused or pared down as the rest of my stories; I'm trying to give this one time to expand and breathe as necessary. But I do have a storyline, and it will have an ending. It'll just be a while from now.

YES YES!! I loved the first book as much as House of Blades! I couldn't enjoy the Elder Emipre series much, sad to say but this series has me hooked. I took Sunday off from the real world and finished it in one sitting. Thank you Will for doing what you do.

"Soon" can mean anything from a day to a year. What kind of time frame are we talking about?
Reply
Sometime between a day and a year.

I'm glad the badgers made it. I just felt it was that extra touch that shows how I really feel about delays, how are they going is gregory still behaving?

Is this the next book you're releasing, or is there another (Traveler's gate) that's coming out first?

I must say, I'm loving this new series! I was a bit disappointed at first that you weren't doing another Traveler's Gate series but I decided to go ahead and read this one as a present to myself for finishing a big project. I've read it twice in less than a week! Loving the fact that it might be up to 10 novels

Thanks for giving it a shot, Chris, and I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Yeah, I was wondering if you were basing it on xianxia/wuxia novels. Have you read the Chronicales of Tao?
