Utah?
« on: October 02, 2006, 01:48:03 AM »
Is Mistborn a nationwide book or a local one.  I know i may sound stupid but i'm just wondering.  When did that harm anyone.

Nation-wide.  It's published by Tor.

Another FYI, anything related to Mistborn or and of Brandon's other books should be posted in his forum if you want him to see it.  He does check the other boards but not as often as his own.

Alright.  I only wondered because i live in spanish fork and all my friends seem to know of it.  I've asked my cousins in other states and they hadn't heard of it, so i thought it might have recently gone nation-wide, or that it had been already.

The reason it's more well known here is because Brandon, or EUOL as we call him, is a local author and he does a lot of local promotions.  Like visiting schools and book singings.

Ahh I see.  That is probably why he doesn't know him.

I'm sure EUOL would rather equate that to his mad ninja skills keeping his true identity a secret.

EUOL has no ninja skills. He's an undead overlord. *I* control the ninjas.

I am pretty sure that it would be horrifying if EUOL actually did a book singing.

I live in New York.  Mistborn is on the shelf of practically every local bookstore I've been to and has been since July 25th (when I bought it).

Utah is a bit far from me but I get the impression that Brandon likes to visit his publishers every few years so I'm holding out hope that I'll eventually get a book signed.

You're not convincing enough of your friends to buy it, are you?!
All Saiyuki fans should check out Dazzle! Emotionally wrenching action-adventure and quirky humor! (At least read chapter 6 and tell me if you're not hooked.) Volume 10 out now!

So far I've missed every signing in utah except one.  I'm hoping to catch it on the 7th.

He mentioned on his forum that he was holding off on an East Coast tour until next year so that he could hit up both Tor and Scholastic.  

I happen to work in NYC so if "hitting up Tor and Scholastic" coincides with an NYC signing, I'll be happy.
