Ok, so as I have mentioned many time in the past I was raised with a healthy love of Star Trek and by extension all things Sci-Fi and eventually fantasy. I enjoy the escape and the imagination involved. I really do. So, with that reiterated, I am going to go crazy...
So I fell in love with these books, The Wheel of Time a few years back and have been reading through the first 11 and one prequel feverishly. Each book averages about 800 pages so it is not a quick read scenario. But anyway, I have finished them all and have been eagerly anticipating the release of the next book. In the mean time the Author, Robert Jordan passed away. So sad. Luckily they recruited a great fan and fellow author to finish up the series.
So with that comes the book tour. Enter excitement.
With over 500 applicants I was selected to help with the book tour! I am totally geeking out over here. I get to have dinner or lunch with the author and the TOR (publishing company) rep and help out with the event. I am so excited I could scream. In fact I did. In the middle of Deseret Book. I am so excited to actually sit down with an author and talk to him...he's sold tons of books people, he is a big time author and I get to not only meet him for 5 seconds but actually talk to him and have a conversation! I am so excited. So believe me over the next month you may see a lot about WOT (wheel of time), TOR publishing and Brian Sanderson (author). Autographed copy of the next book...HERE I COME!
Ok, off to finish the homemade cider and get the last bits and pieces ready for the work party. More on that later.
SO EXCITED!
