Thoughts on THE WAY OF KINGS If you missed it, Tor posted the cover to THE WAY OF KINGS a little while ago. This, along with some of the marketing copy that Tor has posted on Amazon and the like, has people talking about the book. So far, I’ve been rather quiet about KINGS, mostly…
New Writing Excuses Episode, Hero of Ages Annotations I’ll be posting another of my long, rambling blog entries later this week, but for today I’ve just got the standard Monday updates. In this week’s Writing Excuses podcast episode, Dan Wells, Howard Tayler, and I are joined once again by Jessica Day George to discuss writing…
Annotation Mistborn 3 Chapter Sixty-Five Ham Says Not to Attack And, what is this? A climax for Ham? Hammond lovers, your faith has paid off. This is the best I could give him, but it seems to me like it works. All through the series, I’ve had him question and debate, and he rarely comes…
