PSA: Of Darkness and Dawn error!

8/16/2015

Due to an error on my part, for about an hour now, the version of Of Darkness and Dawn that's been available on Amazon has actually been Of Shadow and Sea.

Which sounds like it will be very...confusing and disappointing for anyone who buys Book 2.

I have since corrected this mistake, but if you bought ODAD and it's actually OSAS, go to your Manage Your Kindle page and update it. You should be able to re-download the correct version.

EDIT: Amazon's telling me that they won't enable updates until they can confirm that significant changes have been made to the book. Which...it's a completely different book, so I'm hoping that process won't take very long at all. Make sure your Automatic Kindle Updates are turned on.

Or return the book for a refund and then buy it again, which should work. In theory.

Sorry about that, everyone!

Thanks! It was definitely somewhat confusing - but also humorous. I thought maybe you were going for a Groundhog Day theme.

Secretly, it was all an elaborate artistic ploy to explore the cyclical nature of life.

Except not really, I just screwed up.

Man this book blew my mind! When does the twin book come out?? I can't wait to read it.

Each of the titles you've released have been better and better.

Glad to hear it, Bryant! We'd have a real problem if they were going the other way.

I'm hard at work finishing Of Dawn and Darkness, scheduled for release in September!

Dear Mr. Wight,

At this current time you are probably my most in unfavorite person I the world, I paced myself reading darkness and just finished like 30 seconds before typing this.. I am with out words for the ending of the book.. Every page was amazing. The ending left my mouth open, literally open. now I have to wait to find out the rest.. I am not good at waiting... So thank you for the suspense you have left me with.

I think I'll have to go read travelers gate again to bide my time.. Thank you again for an amazing book!!

That's the best way to end a book, JM!

I am the devourer of will wight books, even being the quickest writer of our time you will never write them quickly enough!! Have any good suggestions of authors I can read in between my will wight fix? Read all sanderson, hobb, brent, weeks books and need a reading fix while I wait for the new elders book :)

I have enjoyed the speed with which Lindsay Buroker writes. I have read 17 of her books and short stories this year. Think Swords, daggers, crossbow, then throw in a dirigible, a plane, a dragon, a magic sword, and a sorcerer and some steam powered vehicles and you get an idea.

Shea Ford has a great series out with the last book coming in Sept.

David Dalglishs' Shadow Dance Series is quite intense and enjoyable.

Edward Roberson's Cycle of Arawn is awesome. (He just started a second series with the same characters.)

Michael Sullivan's Riyria Revelations are incredible. i recommend reading the Riyria books in published order.

Take time to read Staveley's Chronicle of the Unhewn Throne books 1 and 2 are out 3 early next year.

Tolkien is a winner all the time.

"Ready Player One" is a fun book as well.

Patrick Rothfuss, Anthony Ryan, Alexander Dumas are all favorites of mine.

I like the sword an sorcary book.

All that and Will Wight, the self published independent fast writing author, still tells a story i read as soon as i can.

I also like Terry Mancour's Spellmonger series. He publishes books almost as fast as Will.

In addition to Stephen's recommendations, Scott Lynch is always a good bet as well (The Lies of Locke Lamora). And Red Rising is sci-fi, but I'd recommend it to basically anyone.

Abercrombie's stories aren't perfectly suited to my tastes, but the man knows how to write characters.

Definitely try Scott Lynch. IMO, his first book is his best book, but they're all above average. And I've been reading Wuxia novels translated from Chinese, lately, and I've really enjoyed them. It's kind of like an entire genre of Valinhall, all based on Chinese mythology.

I'll probably write a book about it, at some point.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but I think this is still happening to me. I bought it originally when this happened. Then decided I'd just wait until the next book came out and try again.

It came out! But I still can't get an updated copy. I tried deleting it and buying it again. Also deleting it and using kindle unlimited. Neither thing worked. I'm also gonna try to get Amazon to help me out.

Please help! I want to read your books!

Check your email from around this time. Amazon should have sent you a message telling you that you could update your title.

If you do not have such a message, immediately email me and I'll send you a copy. I'm so sorry you had to wait so long.

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