Hi Everyone,



I don't know if this is old news, or no news and maybe not be put into a new topic. However, Brandon Sanderson is going to be signing his new book, (The Alloy of Law), Wednesday 23rd November at Waterstones in Liverpool One at 12:30pm



Helpful? I hope so!

Hi all! A note directly from Brandon here. I'm proud to present the
new Mistborn book for you all, THE ALLOY OF LAW. You're receiving
this because you signed up or sent me fan mail. If you'd prefer not
to get emails like this in the future, just reply and ask to be
taken off the list.

I'm off on a tour of North America and the UK (those of you in our
database with your location attached should be getting another
email soon, if you live near where I'll be doing a signing). At the
bottom of this page, Peter will post a list of all the places I'll
be visiting on tour. You can watch my upcoming events on the events
page on my webiste. (Note that I'll be visiting Taiwan, San
Fransico, and Australia in the first half of next year--among other
places.)

THE ALLOY OF LAW presents an update and transformation of the
Mistborn world. I'm really hoping you all find a chance to look
into it. Sample chapters can be found on Tor's website right here:
http://tor.com/featu...he-alloy-of-law

This book is something of an experiment for me. I plan to return to
the Mistborn world in future years to do more trilogies of deep,
involved epics. However, for now, I'm so caught up in the Wheel of
Time and the Stormlight Archive that I didn't want to start another
long series in the Mistborn world too. However, I also didn't want
the series to languish for years while I finish the Stormlight
books.

The result of this conundrum is THE ALLOY OF LAW, a faster-paced,
shorter standalone novel in the Mistborn world. I'm hoping it will
give you everything you love about Mistborn in a more
self-contained package. I think of this book more as a "fun
adventure" rather than a deep epic. I hope you'll approach it with
that mindset. In a way, I'm hoping books like these will balance
the Stormlight Archive. Sometimes, you want a 1000-page book with
hundreds of different characters. Sometimes, however, you want a
quick, fun book with compelling lead characters, good action, and
fun banter. That's what this book is.

I've done a simultaneous ebook, audiobook, and hardcover
release--trying to get the book out for everyone in the formats
they like. I hope you enjoy it, and please tell your friends!

I did an interview over at Neth Space about the release of this
book and my plans for the future of the Mistborn world.

OTHER NEWS

About the RPG: The Mistborn Adventure Game tabletop RPG will be
released by Crafty Games on November 22nd. As well as being an
adventure game, it includes a ton of information on the Mistborn
world and my long-promised Kelsier prequel story, entitled "The
Eleventh Metal." For more information, see the Crafty Games
website.
http://crafty-games....ses-november-22

Mistborn Movie: The Mistborn film is still coming along, though
we're not yet out of the script writing stage. No real news as of
now. Hopefully soon.

Mistborn Video Game: I've signed a deal to do a video game in the
Mistborn world. It will be a prequel to the original trilogy, and I
should be heavily involved in the writing of its story. It will be
cross-platform. Other than that, I can't say anything right now.

Great Hunt: During the tour I'll be holding another Great Hunt for
Wheel of Time fans, revealing something cool that readers will
enjoy. For more details, see my blog post about the hunt.
http://brandonsanderson.com/blog/1032

Infinity Blade: Awakening: I've been working on a few novellas.
See the following link for more information on the first one I've
released. It's a tie-in to the Infinity Blade iOS game from ChAIR
Entertainment, and it was a fun project to be involved in. Expect
to see a few more things like this next year.

Do you play family games over Christmas? Normally we have loads of people around and play games, and my fiance does as well, so we have double gaming which is good. Yes I admit it, I like board games, I played 2 games of life on Saturday night. Anyway, this could be a good way to get people into his books. I like this

Check out Crafty Games's facebook page, they've got some cool character line art up.

Christmas for my family is a matter of getting as many of our relatives together for lunch (usually a BBQ and roast) and then just lounging around in the shade or in the pool. Fairly relaxed all-round, though I wouldn't mind introducing board games to that (and I quite like Articulate :) ).

RE: OP, have to say I'm looking forward to when he eventually makes his merry way to Australia :)

Yeah, I guess in some ways i'm lucky to live in England, but then look at your weather. I'll go on their facebook page at lunch, which is, now :)

Don't know how long it takes to get to FP, but the thread was only started three-ish hours ago, so don't beat yourself up :)
