My editors are working through Plague of Shadows now, and I’m a little over halfway through the first draft of the third book in the Street Rats of Aramoor series.
The best way to keep up with my work is by liking my Facebook author page. Right now I’m working with an illustrator to create two brand new maps for the city of Easthaven. You can keep up with the progress there: https://www.facebook.com/MichaelWisehart.author/
Thanks for reaching out. Glad to hear I am managing to entertain.
I’m working on the second draft of the the second book in the Aldoran Chronicles saga, entitled: Plague of Shadows, which will be out later this year.
If you haven’t done so already, please consider leaving a review of the books on Amazon. Those reviews make a big difference in pushing them to get the books out there.
This series is absolutely amazing! The world is detailed amazingly well (as this gorgeous map suggests). I love this book just as much as Stormlight Archive or the Kingkiller Chronicles. Please keep up the good work Michael! I don’t get much enjoyment in life usually but I can’t put your book down!
Hi Ryan.
To be ranked along with some of my favorite authors is high praise indeed. I’m so glad to hear that you are enjoying the series and the World of Aldor. A lot still to come! I hope to have the book 2 (Plague of Shadows) in the Aldoran Chronicles out this year.
Awesome work. Do a little bit of map building myself as a D&D Dungeon Master. Never anything quite this good and most never make it past pen and paper, but i can definitly respect the work put into this.
Hey Alan. I was going back through my cartography page and realized I never received your reply, which is why I hadn’t responded. – Sorry about that. (Eye of the North) good name! Might see that show up in some later books. I do have an enormous wall and gate to add to it. It will be know as the “Gates of Bel’Taag.” But the pass hasn’t been named, so “Eye of the North” might be it. 🙂
Wow – Thanks for considering (and yes even applying) my suggestion! it’s really nice to interact and “have considered” us the readers thoughts and suggestions!
Keep up the great work!

Your choices for the mountain and island names were great. I can proofread, but my imagination has no independent creativity of it’s own. There are TV shows, movies, and books that my imagination will pull me into the story. Like The White Tower, totally immersed.
Many authors say that coming up with names is more difficult than coming up with the story. I can only hope that The Aldoran Chronicles continues to keep you pulled in 🙂
Hey Janalyn! Sorry for the late response. I replied a couple days ago using my cell phone, but it didn’t seem to post. I hand drew the basic elements first and then built the rest using Photoshop computer software. Its a lot of work, but lots of fun! If you have any questions concerning map-making let me know. Love to help my fellow fantasy authors!
I absolutely loved The White Tower. I come back to your website at least once a month to check the progress on book 2. Absolutely can’t wait!

All the best,
Have read both street rat’s books and white tower enjoyed them all

Perhaps “Eye to(or of) the North” – i.e. similar to a the “eye” of a sewing needle
Hi Alan. Which map element/location are you suggesting should be named “Eye of the North”?
The pass just to the Northeast of Lake Baeron (between the Northern Heights and the Angoran Mountains) leading into the Frozen North.

Hello, the map is marvelous, well detailed, easy on the eye, love the colors!!! You did a great job
Thanks Rene for the kind words. I will continue to add to it as the series progresses.
Is there any way to present the map so that we can zoom in to see the details? That would be freaking awesome!
Looks great, man. I wish I was that skilled with photoshop!

Absolutely gorgeous! Did you use Campaign Cartographer?
Actually, I built it myself. I love designing and creating interesting things. As my novel series progresses, I continually add on to it 🙂
Thanks for the kind words!
