Okay, let me go ahead and actually answer the question that was asked.
Brandon posted an answer to your question
here, on December 1st, 2005.
In fact, anyone can have sample chapters of any of my books. I send those out pretty freely.
Also, if anyone wants any of my old books--anything pre-WAY OF KINGS--you need but ask. Most of them won't ever get published in their current form. So, if you're ever bored, you can read an old, unpublished Brandon novel.
The complete Brandon Library is:
1) White Sand Prime (My first Fantasy Novel)
2) Star's End (Short, alien-relations sf novel.)
3) Lord Mastrell (Sequel to White Sand Prime)
4) Knight Life (Fantasy comedy.)
5) The Sixth Incarnation of Pandora (Far future sf involving immortal warriors)
6) Elantris (You have to buy this one!)
7) Dragonsteel (My most standard epic fantasy)
8) White Sand (Complete rewrite of the first attempt)
9) Mythwalker (Unfinished at about 600 pages. Another more standard epic fantasy.)
10) Aether of Night (Stand-Alone fantasy. A little like Elantris.)
11) Mistborn Prime (Eventually stole this world.)
12) Final Empire Prime (Cannibalized for book 14 as well.)
13) The Way of Kings (Fantasy War epic. Coming in 2008 or 2009)
14) Mistborn: The Final Empire (Coming June 2006)
15) Mistborn: The Well of Ascension (Early 2007)
16) Alcatraz Initiated (YA Fantasy. Being shopped to publishers)
17) Mistborn: Hero of Ages (Unfinished. Coming late 2007)
18) Dark One (Unfinished. YA fantasy)
19) Untitled Aether Project (Two sample chapters only.)
Here are my notes on that list:
7) Now known as Dragonsteel Prime. See Liar of Partinel (19).
8) I assume we'll still see another rewrite of this one day, but Brandon hasn't mentioned anything recently.
9) Cannibalized some characters and plot points into Warbreaker. Cannibalized the class system into the Mistborn series.
10) Cannibalized something from this into the Mistborn series. Cannibalized something else into Liar of Partinel (19)
11) Do not read Mistborn Prime unless you've already read Well of Ascension.
13) More like 2010 if Brandon finishes A Memory of Light quickly. The start of a major epic.
16) Alcatraz versus the Evil Librarians (optioned by Dreamworks Animation)
17) Obviously, this is finished now. ;) (Oct 14, 2008)
18) Still unfinished. About half done, I hear. On the back burner.
19) The Liar of Partinel. Finished, but needs major rewriting. Cannibalizes parts of Aether of Night. This and a sequel are meant to serve as a segue into a longer Dragonsteel series. But this is a back-burner project.
So if you're keeping track, that was four different books which were cannibalized into the Mistborn series. Humorously, the seafaring nation of Svorden got cannibalized from Elantris into Way of Kings. Then Elantris sold and Svorden was decannibalized.
The following are the other projects I know about that Brandon has done at least some writing on, and their numbers are tentative. He would better give the exact ordering.
20) Alcatraz versus the Scrivener's Bones (Nov. 1, 2008)
21) Scribbler (YA fantasy aimed a couple years older than Alcatraz. Needs a rewrite and needs a publisher. Will probably be three books, or was it four?)
22) Warbreaker. (Brandon's going to do a quick new draft very soon.)
23) Alcatraz versus the Knights of Crystallia (Nov. 2009) Brandon is shooting for five total books in this series, though only four are contracted.
24) Nightblood (Maybe Brandon started outlining this?)
25) A Memory of Light (Today Brandon finished writing one of the major plot arcs.)
FYI, the way to ask Brandon for an early book is to e-mail him.
