Wielder Trilogy Book Three: Wielder's Fate

I'm going to start giving weekly updates on the progress of book three. Its working title is Wielder's Fate. I assume that will be the final title for it. I've tossed around a few different titles, but this is the one that has stuck. The first draft of the novel is currently at 36,000 words, so I'll say it's about 25% complete.

Thank You

I wanted to publicly thank everyone who has posted positive reviews for my novels, posted positive rankings, or left nice comments on this blog. It is very encouraging to hear positve feedback and helps keep me excited and motivated to continue writing and improving. In recent weeks my novels have gotten a number of bad reviews. I don't necessarily mind bad reviews. I know some people won't like my books and writing style. The negative reviews push me to reflect on how I can improve my writing. However, several reviews have been very mean spirited with attacks against not only me personally but also all those who like my novels. It's easy to get upset and down on myself when faced with such negative/demeaning criticism. I really appreciate all the positive encouragement I receive. It helps balance out the negative and keeps me enthusiastic for my future projects. So I just wanted to give you all a big THANKS!

Milestones

Sorry I haven't posted for awhile. I recently moved into a new home and changed positions at work and have been really busy. I'm going to start posting regularly again and give updates on the progress of the third book in the Wielder Trilogy. First I wanted to mention some milestones for Wielder's Awakening and Wielder's Rising. Both have now sold over 10,000 copies each!!! I never thought they would reach those numbers so quickly. It has been amazing!
