wctracy 's review for:

The Seeds of Dissolution by William C. Tracy

Hello folks! I'll be using this space to provide some updates for when the sequel will be released! If you want some more to read while you're waiting, check out the four side-novellas I already have out. You can read them in any order, and each one will give you a little more insight into the Dissolutionverse...

Tuning the Symphony
Merchants and Maji
The Society of Two Houses
Journey to the Top of the Nether

August 4th, 2021: Been a while since I did one of these, but I'm very pleased to announce that my first anthology, Distant Gardens, is released! My stories include one in the Dissolutionverse and one in a new universe. There are eight other stories as well, by my fellow authors!

April 21st 2021: The audiobook for Tales of the Dissolutionverse is released on Audible! Go check it out!

February 11th 2021: The audiobooks for Facets of the Nether and Fall of the Imperium are now available on Audible! In addition, The Seeds of Dissolution is available on Chirp, Kobo, Nook, Google Books, and more with updated audio and better voice acting. Check it out!

January 6th 2021: It's been a while since the last update, but I can happily say the audiobooks for Facets of the Nether and Fall of the Imperium have been released! You can find them on Chirp, Kobo, Nook, Google Books, and anywhere else you consume audiobooks. They will be available shortly on Audible as well, but it's taking longer than usual to approve them.

August 25th 2020: Book 3, Fall of the Imperium is out! Time to go finish up the trilogy. What lies in store for Sam, Enos, and Inas?

July 23rd 2020: The cover for book 3, Fall of the Imperium, has been revealed! Mark your calendars for August 25th and the release of the last book of the trilogy!

June 24th 2020: Book 2, Facets of the Nether is released! Go out and get it, people! I'm hoping to finish up Fall of the Imperium in 2-3 weeks, and that one will be released in August to finish out the trilogy.

May 13 2020: The Kickstarter is finished and the covers and illustrations are funded. Thanks to everyone who helped this project. In other news, I've finished the last draft of Facets of the Nether (book 2) and the planned release date is June 23rd! Now on to another round of edits on book 3, planned for August 2020...

April 08 2020: The Kickstarter for books 2 and 3 of The Seeds of Dissolution is live! You can get the books early, become a character in the story, or have a special Dissolutionverse story written just for you. Check out the link here:

February 18 2020: Draft 4 of book two is complete! This fixes the last bits of feedback, as well as some consistencies I noticed while writing the third book. That means it's back to book 3, to start making large structural changes based on my writing group feedback. The Kickstarter is still a go for April!

January 15 2020: I'm finished with draft 2 of book three in the Seeds of Dissolution timeline! Going back now to make some small changes based on feedback in book two. I plan to release these in May and July of 2020, with a Kickstarter running in April. You can the first copies of the books as well as some cool swag by backing! The titles are as follows:
The Seeds of Dissolution (Book 1)
Facets of the Nether (Book 2)
Fall of the Imperium (Book 3)

October 8 2019: Starting on the first draft of book three in the Seeds of Dissolution timeline! I'm planning to release books 2 and 3 close together in 2020.

July 31 2019: The audiobook is now out! So if you like to listen to your books instead of read them, go try it out!

April 26 2019: I finished the second draft of the sequel last week! Currently it's going out to my first batch of alpha readers, and I know a lot of places I need to tidy things up. I should be starting the next draft soon, and will probably start outlining the third book soon.

Feb 20, 2019: If you want a story to tide you over until the sequel comes out, how about a novelette about Origon's past? You can get it for free right here! BookHip.com/PAHQDG

Jan 09, 2019: Well, the first very, very rough draft is done! There are a lot of things I need to go back and improve, and I need to add another layer of emotional reaction and scene detail (two things I always fall short on in first drafts). However, the bulk of the words are in place, and that's what matter. Currently it's clocking in at a little over 80,000 words, but I'm guessing it will be about 100,000 after I finish revisions. There are a lot of places I need to flesh out. I'm really excited to share this with you, so I'll be putting in sneak peeks in my monthly newsletter.

Sep 13, 2018: I'm about 5000 words into the sequel, and starting to get back into the story. It's great to be writing these characters again. You're going to see some different points of view in this one...
