Title: Coming 'round Chicago?
Post by: Natalie Perkins on July 19, 2007, 05:53:46 AM: I visit the website most every day and whenever a book tour or signing is mentioned its always in the west. Will Brandon Sanderson ever come to Chicago??

Of course, your NEXT question will undoubtedly be "When?"

The answer to that is...well...I'm not sure yet. I'm trying to work out a Chicago visit, and I do have family there. But, with the new baby coming this fall....

We shall see. A lot hinges on the popularity of Alcatraz (mixed with my ability to get Scholastic to pay for some flights.)

I think... although I've never been to Chicago. Then you could do a midwest tour and I would contact someone from the Cities library districts and get some publicity! I would be great.

(I keep bothering you about this since I don't live where you can sign my books still)

It's 12 hours BTW
