Here’s some fun news. Many of you probably already know who Brandon Sanderson is, being not only the acclaimed author of the Mistborn fantasy series, but also having been chosen to complete the late Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time series. The next book in the series is The Gathering Storm, to be released Oct. 27th.
Well, Sanderson and Tor are, of course, running a huge book tour to promote this launch, and have been taking applications for people to become “Storm Leaders” for various city signings. Storm Leaders will help run the signing, as well as get a chance to meet and hang out for a bit with Brandon and Harriett (Jordan’s wife and book editor). One of these signings is for the Tattered Cover in downtown Denver (on Sunday, Nov. 1st), so of course I sent in an application. I’m excited to say I got picked as one of six Storm Leaders for the Denver event.
More details as I get them. Of course there’ll be a big writeup of the event for anyone unable to attend, but if you are in the area (or want to travel) you are obviously encouraged to be there. I’ll also be putting up a book review on my Examiner.com page, so keep an eye out.
Let the fun (and work) begin!
Hey, that's pretty cool! This brings back memories of the time I met Kurt Vonnegut at my college. Congrats!
