Fake Kings
I thought I'd finally get around to posting these. If you missed what happened, I solicited a round of 140 character fake reviews for The Way of Kings via Twitter and my LJ. You guys proved quite clever, giving us around 200 responses to chuckle at. In fact, there were so many good ones that we had real trouble over here picking our favorites. So, I just decided to post a few here as a taste, then post the majority of them up on a page on my website. I probably missed a few, and if I missed your

Annotations + Writing Excuses
It's hard to believe that I haven't mentioned the writing advice podcast I do with Howard Tayler and Dan Wells, Writing Excuses, in almost three months. Regardless, we're still putting out an episode every week—this week's episode focuses on blending genres and how to do it successfully. As always, it's only 15 minutes long because you're in a hurry and we're not that smart. Continue Reading....

Worldcon
Well, now that it's official that we're going to Worldcon, I'm thinking it might be nice to set up a quick signing for those who live locally but won't be going to the convention. I'll get my publicist on it, but I thought I'd ask here as well. Does anyone reading the blog work at a bookstore (or know someone who works at a bookstore) in Montreal? Continue Reading....

More Twitter Fun
Okay, let's get this rolling. First off, remember that I'll be doing #tweettheauthor here in about 40 min. (Starting at 12:00 Mountain.) It's going to be interesting. Can Brandon answer questions in 140 characters? We shall see. Feel free to start shooting me questions right about that time. Just post them and include #tweettheauthor at the end. I'll start sending out replies on my Twitter account, and they'll be targeted @ the person who asked the question. So if my answer is confusing, you can

DONE
Housekeeping first. Remember that I'll be doing on-line appearances tomorrow, where I'll be answering questions. The one on Twitter will probably be way busy, so that should be interesting. I'm getting to the odd state in my career where there will probably be far more questions than I have time to answer, but I'll do my best. Also, have you not seen Howard and Tracy Hickman's Extreme DM book? If not, you're missing out. It's awesome. Some sample pages are here. Continue Reading....

Online Tour (and Twitter Tomfoolery)
We've been feeling bad about the fact that I can't get many places on tour. Even this fall, with the WoT tour, I'll only be hitting a fraction of the places where people want me to visit. Continue Reading....

Mistborn Minis Contest
Last week, BSC review was giving away Goblin Quest minis? Well, this week they're giving away a full set of Mistborn Minis in a contest. I believe the entry method is pretty simple--all you have to do is send them an email. So head on over and give it a try! Continue Reading....

Day of ScalziLovehate!
So, today on Twitter, I noticed my friend (and evil nemesis) John Scalzi complaining that the people saying mean things about him on Twitter just weren't interesting enough in their hate. Exact quote: Continue Reading....
