Moiraine vs. Kelsier, Gen Con Indy, Interview + Updates

If you missed it on Twitter or Facebook, here's the link to my Suvudu Cage Match writeup of Moiraine vs. Kelsier. Don't expect an epic battle. I don't have the time to spare to write something like that in this case. Instead, I played it very tongue-in-cheek. I flipped a coin to decide who won, then wrote something that made it seem logical. Warning: it not only contains huge spoilers for both series, but a lot of Wheel of Time and Mistborn in-jokes. If you disagree with the results of my coin flip, feel free to vote however you wish in the cage match poll.



This week's episode of Writing Excuses features Mary, Howard, and I talking about Man vs. Nature. If you're as confused about that as Howard was, it's one of the basic narrative conflict archetypes (along with Man vs. Man and Man vs. Self). Check it out.



There's also a new ALCATRAZ VERSUS THE EVIL LIBRARIANS annotation up. This one covers chapter six.



Samuel Montgomery-Blinn of Bull Spec interviewed me for Audible SF/F about audiobooks.



Gen Con Indy has announced that I'm their Author Guest of Honor this August. For my full convention schedule this year, see here.



This is the last week to vote on the long list for the David Gemmell Legend Award (the poll closes March 31st). THE ALLOY OF LAW has been nominated, but you should vote for the book you want to win, of course.

Lex The Moiraine vs. Kelsier conversation might not have been an epic fight, but it was hilarious !


message 4: by Chris (new)

Chris Cutler Don't you think the fact you used a coin to decide biased the result from the start? Hmmm, who do we know who can manipulate coins to his heart's content?

bolbo boggons **SPOILERS**

OH NOOOOOOOOOOOO I haven't finished Wheel of Time yet, but was all 'pff, Moiraine's dead, there can't POSSIBLY be any spoilers to do with her that would affect me if I'm past that!'

*Facepalm*

Bobby Luke Hahahaha....what are you waiting for!!! Those books have been out for quite some time now!

bolbo boggons By about halfway through book 7 it felt a little like trying to wade through treacle, and I got distracted :P I'm planning on restarting the whole series once the last one comes out.

Right on....slug through the slower volumes, it definitely picks up again. (As you unfortunately discovered :))

bolbo boggons That particular spoiler does really make me want to get to that point, however, so it may be a good thing I guess?

Certainly. You still don't know HOW it came to be, so that's something to look forward to at least.
