Hey everyone! Brandon’s assistant Adam here. As you probably know, Brandon has been on tour for his latest release, Calamity, which is the final book of The Reckoners series. While on tour, he likes to take pictures of people who show up in costume, or bring in something that stands out. I thought I would share some of the pictures he’s taken so far. Before I get to that, however, I want to remind you of a the last few stops Brandon will be making for his tour this week. If you want to see a detailed schedule, I would recommend you visit the Upcoming Events page on his website.

Wednesday, February 24: Houston
Thursday, February 25: Austin
Friday, February 26: San Antonio
Saturday, February 27: San Antonio

Below is just a sampling of photos the Brandon has taken. If you know someone, or see yourself, feel free to tag yourself on Facebook so you can brag to your friends.

I want to take a quick moment to thank all of you for your enthusiastic response to Calamity. Thanks to you, Calamity is the #1 bestseller on Audible. It’s all because of you that I’m able to continue this crazy career.

In this week’s new Writing Excuses episode, Wonder as a Subgenre, we discuss the Element of Wonder in science fiction and fantasy and how that same element, or “sense of wonder,” can be used to give wondrous flavor to stories whose driving force lies among the other elemental genres. If you have “wondered”: how to use wonder at smaller scales, how to create it with context, or how you might use it in support of other themes of your story, then this will be a good listen for you.

Last week, in Tor.com’s continuing reread posts for Words of Radiance, Kaladin and Shallan escaped from something and sniped at each other. This week, in Chapter 71, we glimpse Teft’s past before we return to a very gloomy Kaladin, an intent Shallan, moments of stunning openness, and the return of something dangerous.

My assistant Adam is working on updating the Twitter posts archive for February.
