Words of Radiance is done! + Signing in Orem Saturday
First off, keep in mind that the shipping deadline for signed books and other nifty things is tomorrow! Look here for more details. I’m also appearing at the Orem Library Holiday Author Extravaganza tomorrow morning; see my events calendar.
For those who missed my posts on social media in the wee hours of the morning last week, I have finished the final draft of Words of Radiance, second volume in the Stormlight Archive. We turned the manuscript in to Tor, and they printed the thing off and showed how big it is in this blog post here. They also released one of the interludes on their site for free, as a preview. Enjoy!
I also wanted to mention that I did a few signings last week, and left signed books behind that you might want to grab. The most important of these was the signing I did for the military men and women on Hill Air Force Base. The Exchange there said that they commonly ship to other Exchanges around the world.
So, if you are in the army or air force and you want to buy a signed copy of Steelheart, you can just go to your Exchange and have them order one of the signed ones in from the Hill Base Exchange! The book only costs about $14 there. I thought some of you might be interested in this, particularly some of you serving overseas who can’t easily get signed books otherwise.
I also did leave many copies of my books signed at the Idaho Falls Barnes & Noble. (Including A Memory of Light and The Emperor’s Soul.) The Fred Meyer’s in Pocatello had a very nice turnout on Monday, and I left signed books with them too. So if you’re in eastern Idaho, I think you’re covered. And as I mentioned above, I’ll be at the Orem Library tomorrow, for those of you in Utah Valley.
Anyway, now that Words of Radiance is done and turned in, I’m working full-time again on Firefight (sequel to Steelheart). I plan to keep at that through December and into January, so watch the progress bars if you want to keep up.
Thanks, all, and have a Merry Christmas and some Happy Holidays!

Thank you so much for signing books at the Exchange! I haven't heard of another author who's done that and I really appreciate it. In my personal experience over the past couple years, ordering everything online from America's the only way to live "normally" overseas, trying to access familiar things or things we've missed out on while we've been away. So being able to order your book from the Exchange will help a lot of people because it'll take out the hassle of trying to find a site that supplies your signed book (some of which can't be accessed without an American IP address, I contacted some of these sites and they said they didn't know that and don't know why it happens) and sites that ship to APO/FPO/DPOs, which is less than you might think.
Yea! Finally! Looking forward to reading it!
So excited for Words of Radiance! Just reread The Way of Kings, one of my top 5 favorite books.
Finally *Tears up* I thought i'd never see this day...
Manuscript is two thousand pages? WOW! Awesome!
This is my number one want to read book. Can't wait for Amazon to ship it out. Are you going to be at Gen Con in 2014 Mr. Sanderson?
Come to Sacramento for a signing!
Quite possibly my most anticipated book!
