Being honest with ones self.

I'm William D. Arand.

You know, I know it, we all know it.

Let's use one blog.

Head on over to http://williamdarand.blogspot.com/ for proper updates going forward. Sorry for the weirdness folks.

Fostering Faust 2 releases 02/01/19

New book by William D. Arand - November

Arand dropped a new book (Snicker)

Super Sales 3 is live on Amazon.

You can get it here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07K2KLQG3

Beyond that, we're already working on our next book. Fostering Faust 2,

This isn't the end of Felix, Vince, or the Overgod.

There's much left of the story to tell.

And for all you know, it's already being told. :)

October 2018 - Spooky things and skeleton wars.

Fostering Faust 2 is what we're working on now. Don't listen to anyone else or any other rumors.

Probably January of February for release.

After that... a new series!

And because it came up again, here's an earlier "How to support me" post.

"Recently I've had a few people ask me how they can support me.

So, here's a few ways you can do that. Without further ado:

1: If you're looking to help me without spending a dollar, and you feel like wasting 5-10 minutes, going and leaving some reviews on the books you've read would be great. I can't deny i'd be pleased as punch if you left glowing 5 star reviews, but i'd ask you to be honest in your reviews.
Reviews are essential.

2: If you have $1-$10 to drop, and you want to read the books earlier, at least up to the 70% mark, hop on over to the Patreon page. (https://www.patreon.com/WilliamDArand)
I do my best to respond to all questions on the patron posts as well. It's also how you become eligible for beta reading positions.

3: Spread the word! I cannot stress this enough but when you link my books to groups that might not have seen it, you do me a great favor. Half the fight is getting even the possibility of someone looking at a book.

Beyond that, I can't think of easy or simple ways to make a difference. :D

I thank you one and all for your kind and continued support of me as an author."

Good times :)

September - 2018- Wild Wastes Omnibus | Fostering Faust 2

Morning!

Wild Wastes 3 went very well. We'll hopefully be releasing the Omnibus for it soon enough.

After that, we'll be moving into Fostering Faust 2.

Super Sales on Super Heroes 3 should have a significant amount of Vince in it btw the way. Since it's very obvious the worlds have crossed over now. :)

Wild Wastes 3 - OUT NOW

Wild Wastes 3 is out.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DK65BFD

Whew

June: Wild Wastes 3

Wild Wastes 3 is with the editor. We'll probably be kicking that out end of this month, or next month. After that, Fostering Faust 2, and then a new series. Moving along, moving along. :)

May 2018: New book! Fostering Faust

Good morning everyone,

Fostering Faust is live: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CXSP9TQ

Work on Wild Wastes 3 is almost done. Should finish up this week.

Whew.

Busy busy. :)

April 2018: Gotta go fast.

April-

Two new books coming down the pipe.

A new series will be is going to be dropped on May 1st. Tentatively it's being called "Fostering Faust".

I'm already working on Wild Wastes 3 as well, and we're already 33% done. I imagine it'll not be too terribly long for it to be available.

Quite likely in May or June.

March 2018: New Randi Darren book, and Dungeon Deposed release(Arand)

March is here.

We're 50% done with a new Randi Darren book. New series, new main character... and way, way, further off the deep end then I was expecting.

After we finish up "Broker"(tenative title), we'll be moving to Wild Wastes 3!

That's all for the news.

Other than Mr. Arand dropped a new book today.

Dungeon Deposed: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07B4VYMJZ

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 :)

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.

Wild Wastes 3/Super Sales 2

Wild Wastes 3 is still undergoing plot setting. It's been a little difficult. I've been busy!

Also, I just released... errr... ahem... a good friend of mine just released a new book and posted the following message:
Evening.

Thank you to everyone who was part and parcel to getting book 2 out for Super Sales.

If you don't mind, go out and post, share to your FB groups, talk about, and review the new book. Providing you like it, at least. :)

You can pick it up here(Keep in mind it just went live. Sometimes it does weird things for the first 2 hours): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077WRQ889/

November: Wild Wastes 3

Wild Wastes 3 is in plot development.

No ETA at this time.

It -is- being worked on though, and should be completed before July 2018.

After that we'll move to a new series.

Have a nice Turkey Day.

October Update: Audiobook & Wild Wastes 3

The Wild Wastes Eastern Expansion audiobook has gone live.

https://www.amazon.com/Wild-Wastes-Eastern-Expansion/dp/B0763RYZJS

Wild Wastes 3 is starting to be plotted out.

No ETA at this time.

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

Patreon, a Confession, and a Draft Cover.

Many of you have asked if I will be opening a Patreon account.

I did.

Another number of you have asked if I'm William D. Arand.

I am.

So here's the Patreon. 

https://www.patreon.com/WilliamDArand

And here's a draft of the new cover. Not done yet, but doing well.

Wild Wastes 2: Done

It's done.

I've sent it to the editor, waiting on the cover.

When it drops on Amazon, I'll update this page.

So... here's to book 2... let's hope you like it. :D
