Photo Contest Update….
I'm back from having my brain scanned for science. (Pictures forthcoming). And yesterday, I'd played with little Oot and unpacked my bag, I took a look at my planner.
And it was strange. There was nothing on it. Nothing but a vast blankness stretching out in front of me.
It was a glorious sight, and it means [...]

In the spring, a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of Amber Benson
So last week I tried something new. I went to a romance convention.
When I was growing up, the only convention I knew about was Gencon. But over the last couple of years, I've been around the block a bit. I've hit most of the big ones: DragonCon, San Diego Comic-con, WorldCon, as well [...]

Signing in Iowa City
So a couple weeks ago, a scientist down in Iowa City asked if she could take a picture of my brain.
Apparently they're doing research into what happens in creative people's brains. They're studying what goes on when we make thinkings. Or whatever. It's science of some sort.
The important thing is that as an incentive for [...]

In the spring, a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of Penny Arcade
So last week I attended a romance convention this weekend and did a signing with Amber Benson. Needless to say, I have some stories to tell.
But first I should deal with the current news: Kvothe got a mention in Penny Arcade today.
This fills me with a geeky joy which words can hardly express. I'm a [...]

Interview: Adventures in Sci-Fi Publishing
Here's a new interview. I had some caffeine before I did this one, so it's a little livelier than some of my other podcasts.
Share and enjoy,

Photo Contest II: The Return
So I've been slowly digging through my backlog of fanmail. Most of it has been extraordinarily pleasant. There have been a few turds in there, but they're so rare as to be statistical anomalies.
While reading them all, I've also found three letters similar to this one:
Dear Pat,
I read name of the wind long, long ago [...]

A few upcoming signings…
So I've got a couple signings coming up. They're falling about one a week in April, which is quite relaxing compaired to the one every day that I was doing in March.
I set this one up just today, and it's not even a week away. So if you know of anyone here in central wisconsin [...]

A Chat with Brandon Sanderson (And… um… more)
For those of you who haven't seen it yet, I had a fun little conversation with Brandon Sanderson a couple of weeks ago.
And when I say 'little conversation' of course I mean 'absolutely huge conversation.' What was supposed to be a small interview between the two of us ended up being more than 6500 words [...]

Fanmail and Hummus
I have just now managed to get through the last of my e-mail backlog that built up while I was on tour. Who ever knew that it would take so long to work my way through a mere 2000 messages.
Next on my list is going through the 600 or so pieces of fanmail that have [...]
