No surprise, but the question I've been asked the most over the last few weeks is "Which one are you writing next, Cradle or Elder Empire?"
And the answer is, it depends! I wrote the first portion of Skysworn while writing Blackflame, as well as about 70,000 extra words of Blackflame. If I can still use the chapters I've written for SS and repurpose some of the extra scenes from BF, then I'm almost done with Skysworn already. If that's true, then Cradle's next, and I'll be done with it soon. Because it won't impact OKAK much. If I keep working on it over the next couple of weeks and I find that I don't have most of Skysworn done already, then I'm writing Of Kings and Killers next. Whether Skysworn is coming out soon or not, I'm aiming for an Elder Empire release around Christmas / New Year's. -Will

I'm sorry, Sir. What you meant to say was: Please give him a turtle shell so he can be a teenage martial madra turtle. I'm pretty sure that's what you meant.

I had speculated that all of the book series could be connected. House of Blades specifically allows for an universe before or at least formed from pieces of other universes. It makes sense that the power that the magic comes from could be the Way or the Void, most likely the Void. Cradle and Blackflame do go into the multiple worlds, so it is possible that House of Blades is one iteration or worlds that crashed together and were reformed in the Void.

All of Wills universes are connected he has told us this before in previous threads! House of Blades takes place in an Iteration called Amalgam and EE is actually mentioned briefly at the end of Blackflame (Asylum).

I posted this question in a previous post but thought I'd do so again on the latest, but didn't you say in a previous blog post thread that December is often your worst time to do a release and that it's better in January or February? I wonder if you should give yourself that extra month or so to finish up Skysworn, and then plan on OKAK release for late January-ish?

Im hoping for Skysworn really soon. I likes Shera's side of Elder Empire, but i felt that EE doesn't have as much re-read value as Cradle or Travelers Gate.

It will be a Christmas miracle! I've been waiting and waiting and waiting for the last set of Elder Empire books. I love reading both POV and have been slightly boycotting you because you haven't finished them yet. I told my husband I wasn't starting your new series until you finished Elder Empire. He says I'm missing out, but I'm staying strong. (ok, I did read the first chapter of Cradle the other day, but I will not let it pull me in! For Calder and Shera!)

I've loved EE too and have found more rereadability with them because I realise new things I missed each time. The Willverse is the best and your husband is totally WWright.

Stick to what makes you happiest. Even though EE is my 3rd favourite of your series I still love it. EE is still better than 99% of what's out there. Can't wait for whatever you release!

I put the second book down, because I really didn't have time for kindle books. I am more of an Audible person. I had the book on unlimited for a long time, so I decided to finally read it and return it. Loved it and bought the third book and worked through Blackflame in a few days.

It is cool. Usually I go into withdraw after I finish a book. I need my fix man! After a few weeks, I am past the withdrawal and forget about the series until the next book comes out.

I strongly suspect that the Aurelius detection abilities are actually tapping into the Way. It is probably why Suriel is familiar with the Aurelius family ancestors. Such natural ability probably produced Abidan in the past, most likely Spiders. Also would explain why Ozriel might be tracking Eithan.

I've reread this book more than any other book in my lifeeeeeee!!!! (Granted I'm only 16) But I consider myself an avid reader who knows which authors deserves to be appreciated and showered with praise (Trust me I'd rather read an enticing book like yours than hang out with friends).And you!!! My good sir are one of the very few... use it wisely...

I don't remember blackflame mentioning the ancestor bit for why the Aerulius family has a bloodline trait, where did you get that info?

In Blackflame, it says that the patriarch was the one who created the library of information. This likely means that he left other powers behind through his bloodline. Also, it is said only blood Arelius have these abilities, and the one who has been shown to give gifts to his descendants is most likely.
