Mistborn Cover Quote

[EUOL]

"Mistborn utilizes a well thought out system of magic.  It also has a great cast of believable characters, a plausible world, an intriguing political system, and despite being the first book of The Final Empire, a very satisfying ending.  In short, it's one of those great kettle books, in which the author has thrown not merely a bone of an idea and a few potatoes of originality, but half a cow and everything in the garden.  And then added seasonings. Highly recommended to anyone hungry for a good read."

--Robin Hobb

That last line, "Highly recommended to anyone hungry for a good read" will look great on the front of a jacket.  

I have to say, I'm so humbled that people not only take time to read my book, but to say nice things about it.  I can only imagine how busy someone like Robin Hobb must be.

Anyway, I feel incredibly lucky.  Two of my favorite authors--perhaps my two very favorite authors--have quoted my first two books.  

[Parker]

Very nice quote--you're right.  It will look great.  Did you talk with Hobb, or just correspond via email?

[Nessa]

Wow. Robin Hobb herself. Snazzy.

but half a cow and everything in the garden

I love that.

[EUOL]

I met her at World Fantasy, as you know, and after that it was via email.  I'm sure glad that you guys and Dave talked me into going last year!

[Parker]

As I recall you were the one who talked me into going, but then again, you're probably referring to someone else when you say "you guys."

[Spriggan]

"you guys" is EUOL referring to the lawn gnomes that manage his creative empire.

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

garden gnomes and the other half of the cow that didn't get thrown into the book.

[Faster Master St. Pastor]

Brandon is saving them for when the future in-laws come over.

[Peter Ahlstrom]

Good going. I think her fans will like Mistborn.

[Faster Master St. Pastor]

They're Brandon's fans now.
