Hey, all! Oathbringer’s release feels like it’s just around the corner–some of you may disagree with me on that–and for those of you who are reading the excerpts on Tor.com, you can now read chapters 10–12 on their website.

My other project, The Apocalypse Guard, is moving along nicely. I recently finished the first draft and submitted it to Random House. Huzzah!

In the meantime, however, I wanted to let you know that I’ll be attending Salt Lake Comic Con this weekend and LDSPPA on Saturday. Like other years at SLCC, I’ll have a full-blown booth with T-shirts, signed hardcovers, and lots of other swag for sale—including the convention exclusive hardcover of Snapshot and Dreamer.

Here are my schedule and booth details. You can see my full schedule here.

Do you like to create? Creating fictional properties can seem like an overwhelming task.

Magic operates within rules. Technology has its rules. But in speculative fiction the lines get blurred as unfamiliar tech looks like magic, and engineered tools use rules of physics beyond the ones we have (so far) defined. This panel will explore the borderline, discussing the best, and worst, examples of the way technology gets stretched.
