  <about><![CDATA[Brandon Sanderson (December 1975) is an American fantasy author. A Nebraska native, he currently resides in Provo, Utah. He earned his Master's degree in Creative Writing in 2005 from Brigham Young University. He has been nominated twice for the John W. Campbell Award.

Sanderson married on July 7, 2006 and is a member of the LDS church. Sanderson's writing is noteworthy for its epic fantasy tone, unique settings, precision magic systems, and variety of characters.

After Robert Jordan's death, Brandon Sanderson has been selected to complete the final book in the epic fantasy series. Harriet McDougal, Robert Jordan's wife, asked him to complete the series after being deeply impressed by &lt;i&gt;Mistborn: The Final Empire&lt;/i&gt;. Tor Books made the announcement December 7, 2007. &lt;i&gt;A Memory of Light&lt;/i&gt; is slated for publication in Fall 2009.
