I read books 1 and 2 in Wraithblade. Brilliant writing. You have a gift that very few sci-fi/fantasy writers possess. I've never read anything remotely as good as these two books. So my question is, do you play world of warcraft? In books 2 the "goddess" in the bog reminded me of the one in a place called Ardenweald in the Shadowlands area of WOW. Thanks. I am so looking forward to book 3. Mike

Thank you so much for the compliments, Mike! It brings me immense joy that you've enjoyed the series thus far to such a degree.
Good question on WOW. I don't actually play, though one of my best friends loves it & will tell me bits here and there sometimes. My husband plays EverQuest and DND, so I live vicariously through him on occasion.
It's funny, but I actually play precious few RPGs, even fantasy ones. The one time I played DND, I got drunk and my chaotic neutral dark elf nearly got the whole party killed. (oops)
I mostly play Switch games like Pokémon and Animal Crossing. I like to escape the high-stakes worlds of my stories to go dig up fossils on a fake island or catch my 52nd Eevee.
I'll have to look into Ardenweald. The bogs are one of my favorite places in Saldia, so anything that relates to the lore and magic there is definitely on my to-do list to check out. Thanks for the tip!
I can't wait to see what you think of book 3. I've already got a good chunk of the outline done & will be releasing the chapters early on my patreon, if you're interested in checking those out. Hopefully I'll be able to finish book 3 much faster than book 2!
Take care & stay safe. You're amazing!
