February 2018: Update
Let's not kid ourselves.
You know i'm William D. Arand, I know i'm William D. Arand... so let's just... keep it real :D
February!
A time of... February.
We've finished Dungeon Deposed. It'll be going out to all the beta readers by the end of this week.
After that, it's a trip down to the editor, and up for sale March 1st.
No idea on the narrator yet, i'm going to put it up to ACX and hold an audition call.
We shall see. :)
Next book after this, a new genre, new type, new direction. I can't say much yet because i'm not doing this alone. Blaise is involved.
Not much to update beyond that. Wild Wastes 3 is starting to get more fleshed out since it's going to be next up after the Blaise book. I'm liking the direction i'm taking with it already.

January: 2018 Onward!
Alright.
So, 2017 was a pretty great year.
Time to start up a new one I guess.
Wild Wastes should be in September of this year. This is a fairly rough estimation, but it seems pretty doable right now.
The plotting for it is going well, and I feel like it's coming together.
We've also been working on a new series. We'll start work on that after Wild Wastes is done.
Outside of that, not a whole lot going on.

Two Books! Two covers? Artist Needed!
Howdy!
I'm at the 33% point for 2 books at the same time.
My dear artist is not going to be able to do both at the same time. She's just over worked.
I'm going to be looking to have a second artist to be hired on.
If you know someone who does cover work, or you are the artist, and are interested, please send me an email at WilliamDArand@gmail.com
I'd recommend including some example work, prices, and what your expectations are.
Thanks in advance!

Wild Wastes 3: Closing the Trilogy
And so we're in September.
Wild Wastes 2 is doing quite well, and Wild Wastes 1 is being purchased again because of interest in 2.
Fun :)
Wild Wastes 3 will be about 6-7 months out.
As most of you know, I have two pen names. I'll be taking a moment to breathe a bit of life into Super Sales on Super Heroes 2 first, then i'll be moving back to Wild Wastes.
Otherwise, nothing to report, other than I'll be sharing chapters for Super sales 2 to the patreon soon. (https://www.patreon.com/WilliamDArand)

Wild Wastes 2: Uploaded to Amazon! (Edited: Now Live)
Well, the book is done now.
I've uploaded it to Amazon.
We're waiting on them now.
And while it seems somewhat sad to ask..
Leave an honest review for me? In fact, post about the book release in your Facebook groups. Forums you frequent. Your Friends. Anywhere you can?
I'm willing to be that guy and earnestly ask you for your help...
Thanks everyone. :)
I'll update this page when the book goes live.
Book is going live right now: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074XV3Y19
