Chapters 12-17 of Knife of Dreams are the topic of discussion.
As always, during our discussions we go into all the books of the Wheel of Time series, from the prequel New Spring through Knife of Dreams, so if you haven’t finished your first read-through, you may want to come back to these podcasts when you have, as THERE WILL BE SPOILERS.

The first humorous moment of the evening came when we had to call our fellow Storm Leader and Tor.com contributor, Leigh, who was conspicuously absent from the event up till that point. Brandon caught on and proceeded to make light of her unexpected absence by Twittering about it from his blackberry! Suffice it to say a slightly winded Leigh arrived shortly after.
After things wound down a b

We're pleased to bring you an unexpected BONUS Storm Leader report from Seattle, Washington, the home of computer giant Microsoft. Brian T. Hill, a Microsoft employee and big fan of Brandon's, was kind enough to send us this report only hours after the event. Thanks, Brian! Consider yourself an honorary Storm Leader. We'll get you and your son a t-shirt.

I’m not really a Storm Leader, but I kind of played the part today. Sanderson said I should go ahead and

Brandon began by telling the story of how he ended up being chosen to write the ending of The Wheel of Time. He started back in 1990, when he was 15 years old and saw a paperback of The Eye of the World on the shelf. Thinking that it was huge and had a “good page to dollar ratio†he returned to the bookstore a few days later to purchase Book One of The Wheel of Time. It was becau

This was the first Wheel of Time book signing ever to occur in Texas, and the fans were certainly excited! People began arriving before 10 AM to secure their places in line.

During the next few hours, over 200 fans had their books signed. In

Brandon started off by talking about how he got this job, finishing our book. If you’ve been paying attention, you already know the story, but I pulled out some quotes that I thought were entertaining.
* When discussing the book store where he found The Eye of the World. “The new books are right in the front and right there was a copy of a “VERY BIG BOOK.†I like very good books.â€

He recommended Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss, and most of the table had read it and agreed. He said that with writers starting out, there are two basic ways they tend to go - one is to keep writing different things like he did. The other is to work on one book, rewriting and improving it for a long time

Other information that we gleaned from dinner included learning that Aviendha is the favorite out of the three in Rand’s “harem.†Hopefully we’ll get to see more of Pevara being awesome, but that could possibly appear in a novella on Brandon’s web page that will fill in some missing holes. But no promises! And one last interesting fact, in order to get the Illianer and Tar

A "birthday present" for Brandon
"Who is your favorite WoT character?"
"I killed Asmodean"
There were also several young kids who asked sincere questions about the Alcatraz books, and Brandon gave hysterical answers. He said he wrote the books wanting to make glasses cool, and breaking things an asset. He also expressed his everlasting hatred of fish sticks, contrasted wit
The Gathering Storm, the twelfth book in the Wheel of Time series, debuted at the number one spot on the prestigious New York Times bestseller list. This is the fifth WoT novel to hold the spot, and the first time that author Brandon Sanderson has been there. Gathering Storm's appearance on the list ended a six or seven week reign that Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol had been holding onto.
Congratulations to Brandon Sanderson and "Team Jordan" for this outstanding effort and accomplishment. An

The food was good, but the conversation was better. Some spoilers may or may not have been discussed, as we had decided as a group beforehand that we wanted to talk about TGS at the brunch, as we knew we wouldn’t be able to do that at the signing. As it happened, the majority of us had finished the book by then (courtesy of the snowstorm canceling school and work for three days), or were
