Book Signing with Brandon Sanderson
 |
| Book signing with author Brandon Sanderson at Weller Book Works Feb 1, 2013. |
Last night I had the unique opportunity
of helping at a book signing for author Brandon Sanderson, his latest
work being the final book in the Wheel of Time series, originally
started by author Robert Jordan. Sanderson was chosen by Jordan's
widow to finish the series using the late author's numerous notes. It
was great to meet him and he thanked us for helping with the signing
and signed our books right at first when he arrived at the bookstore.
There were six of us in our official capacity as "Memory
Keepers" or helpers for the book signing. We did trivia quizzes,
had a 'pick your profession in the Wheel of Time world' activity, had
raffles, and picked tickets out of a bowl for winners of book related
items from the publisher. We assisted the author with the crowd of
people waiting to get their books signed. He did a reading from the
text and also had a question and answer session from the gathered
crowd. It was an eventful night and I am an even bigger fan of the
author now. You can tell he is the type of person whose mind is
always going in high gear and it is crammed full of all kinds of
interesting information.

of Time books: The Gathering Storm
Towers of Midnight
