    I am a big fan of Gotrek and Felix, and I wanted to thank you for all the pleasure your books have given me. Nathan Long is no replacement. I look forward to checking out the Death Angels. Keep writing!
    cheers

    Hello, I wanted to reiterate my appreciation of your writing and sharing of your knowledge on the craft. I’ll buy your new book’s Kindle edition later tonight, I won’t read them right away (too much in line) but will do so soon, and I want to support what you do, even if it’s just a bit.

    Godspeed,

    F. Arriaga

      Thanks, Scott. Much appreciated! I would be very grateful if you could go on the Amazon site and put that in as a review for Death’s Angels. The book hasn’t got many reviews yet. (No pressure if you don’t have the time!) The Serpent Tower should be available within the next month or so and the remaining two books in the series, The Queen’s Assassin and Burning Shadows, shortly thereafter. There are no plans to do anything with Ragnar at the moment. I am presently working on an Imperial Guard trilogy set during the Macharian Crusades that will keep me busy until the middle of next year. After that, we shall see what we shall see although I strongly suspect it will be back to Tyrion and Teclis.

        Hey William just wanted to say thank you for your space wolves novels as i am a huge fan of them. I saw above that another person was wondering if you were going to write more with the character Ragnar and i saw your response. My question is why did you only write four of the six Ragnar novels? Also i was wondering if and when you might consider putting him on paper with some ink? He really is a fantastic character who i very much enjoy embarking on adventures with.

    Man i will never regret investing in Space wolf omnibus 1 and 2… i remember reading the very first one some years back when i borrowed it from a library sadly they dont sell em anywhere i know in denmark but blacklibrary came through for me and im having such a blast reading em. for example when something tense is happening i often find myself gripping the book tighter and biting my lip wich to me proves that its written with care. plus who dont love fountains of blood shooting out of the hatch hole in a tank after grenades was lobbed into it. great books love em and im often recommending them to my friends. once again awesome books love em a lot good entertainment so thank you for those. i will perhaps later see what else has been made :> woo

    Dear Mr King,

    I have really enjoyed The Terarch Chronicles ( all 3 books! ).
    I do hope that you will write another part of this saga.
    I can’t hardly wait for book No. 4

    Kind Regards,

    Dear Bill King,

    I am a 19-year-old National Merit Scholar and aspiring author from Houston, Texas. When I was 16, I won a national essay contest hosted by the Scholastic publishing company and was awarded an all-expenses-paid trip to Edinburgh, Scotland, where I met billionaire author J. K. Rowling. My story on this experience can be found at: http://houstonfamilymagazine.com/featured/what-i-learned-about-jk-rowling

    I think your books are amazing! Despite all the thousands of stories I’ve read, you are my favorite author of all time (even above Shakespeare and Robert E. Howard). The Gotrek and Felix series has inspired me with its wonderful adventures, and I’ve read each book at least 8 times. My favorites were Trollslayer, Daemonslayer, and Beastslayer.

    Honestly I pity Nathan Long, because nobody could adequately satisfy readers after 7 books of sheer awesomeness. You have an amazing talent for blending together the elements of classic literature to create original stories, which I have spent years admiring and trying to analyze. For example, your short story “Wolf Riders” (which is one of my favorites of all time) is reminsicent of Dune, Call of the Wild, and Tolkien, drastically different stories which are beautifully woven together to produce a masterpiece.

    Thanks so much for the joy you have brought to my life!

    Best Regards,

    Shane A. Healy

    Hey Bill,
    I’m a huge fan of Gotrek and Felix series, reading all of those 7 books you wrote numerous times.
    I appreciate Nathan Long for his courage to take over the series after you, but It’s no more that joy and fun! Something’s missing in the books.. IS THERE any chance, that you will get back to it? Any involvement, even some short stories?

    Thanks for all those nice moments, especially with Daemon Slayer!

    Best regards

    Jan

    Hello

    Just finished Blood of Aenarion. Absolutely amazing book. I cannot wait for Sword of Caledor. In the next 2 Tyrion and Teclis books do you plan on writing about the Battle of Finuval Plain? I hope so. Also we need Ragnar Blackmane back to finish his saga when he becomes a Wolf Lord.

    Best

      Thanks Scott,

      Finuval Plain is the climax of Book Three, a very big battle scene indeed. Book Two deals with the first (triumphant) part of Malekith’s invasion and features the return of N’Kari, the discovery of Sunfang and the Dark Elves’ capture of the Everqueen. There’s a visit to Lustria and a ruined Slann city as well. We also get to see a lot more of Malekith and Morathi and take a closer look at the magical underpinnings of the Warhammer world. As you might expect from the title there is also a guest appearance from the Archmage Caledor as well.

    hello

    just read Blood of aenarion over the weekend really enjoyed it cant wait for the rest of the trilogy. You made me really interested in Tyrion. I do not think it much of a push to say this book has probably the greatest prologue to a book I have read in a long time. Aenarion just oozed sadness and anger and certain hopelessness and the realization that no matter that he dammed himself by using that dark blade that it was not going to be enough to save his people. That was very interesting It was nice to see the subtle level of wit that was in all your gotrek and felix books is very much still alive in this book as well.
    well done

      Thanks Bobby,

      If I say so myself, I am proud of that prologue! The other two books in the series have similar prologues from the point of view of Morathi and the Archmage Caledor.

    I recently picked “Farseer” up off the shelf again and proceeded to read it through over the course of a weekend (which was supposedly dedicated to thesis writing, so if I don’t manage graduate I guess you’re partially to blame… ). I remembered loving the book when I first read it at thirteen, but I was impressed this time around at how much I enjoyed it still. I see it mentioned here and there that it was intended to be the first of a trilogy; any chance of the other two books finding their way into the black library someday? Thanks for all the enjoyable reads over the years; I remember loving the Space Wolf series as well, and am considering a foray into fantasy with the Tyrion and Teclis trilogy.

      Thanks David! Oddly enough I have been reading bits of Farseer myself recently as part of my research for the second book in the Macharius trilogy. This too has navigators and Rogue Traders in it. I did indeed intend Farseer to be the first of a trilogy but it sort of got lost in the shuffle and I can’t in all honesty see myself going back to it after a decade or so. Good luck with the thesis!

    Just wanted to say how much I thoroughly enjoy your books. The space wolf omnibus was my first ever introduction into the world of 40k and from there I’ve grown into a hardcore table top gamer. I have all of your books not to mention dozens more. Just finished reading deaths angels and can’t wait to get into the next three books!

    Your book angel of fire is just AWESOME never before has anyother person started a book with a guards man point of view and you always now how to get the reader involved too its like when I read angels of fire its like I’m in baneblade with the crew as silent observer watching and listing to the men getting battle ready or sitting playing cards you really us the readers feel astho we are part of the story which I don’t think anyother author has yet to do so please keep up the good work and I forward to the next two books over the coming years :)

    hey William, big fan of your man, i havn’t read Angel of Fire yet, but i heard its sweet, so i am gonna pick it up…. Macharius is probably the greatest imperial commander, in the history of the imperium… i don’t think even the primarchs could of achieved what he did, only equal to the emperor, during the great crusade

    now what i want to know is…… Did Macharius ever run into Chaos during his crusade, or is strictly xenos? during the macharian crusade

    another question i have Will, i was meaning to ask

    did Macharius have any relationship with any of the primarchs….. or did the macharian crusade happen much later then the horus heresy, that all the primarchs were dead, or missing?

      The Crusade happens roughly 10,000 years after the Heresy, Marcus. As to the eventual fate of the the Primarchs…I don’t think any of them are still around :) .

    Preordered The Fist of Demetrius. Will it be such a.. erm.. present entity in the book, like the ubiquitous Angel of Fire statues in the previous book? Because if I had to point out one thing I didn’t like in that excellent book, it was reading “Angel of Fire” for the umpteenth time. Don’t forsake BL after the trilogy is done!
