Mike Crane was kind enough to send us a link to a report he made on a recent book signing that Brandon Sanderson had in Pittsburgh. You can read the entire report here, but here's a tasty excerpt:

"Mr. Sanderson is amazing kind, has a great sense of humor and is really personable. I also felt like he was the right choice (not that I would presume that I could even begin to make that choice in Harriet's place) becasue we both have the same favorite character (I think I read this on his website): Perrin, and as he said "I don't like to glorify violence, but I love big action scenes."

Thanks, Mike!
