Yes, Spook.

I would know his name, if I had the book.

I want to be a publisher at Tor Fantasy when I grow up.

YAY

I never figured out why Kel nicknamed him Spook.  Did I miss something or am I completely oblivious (both which amount to the same thing).

Hi.

I ordered a copy and had no trouble finding the signing instructions box.   :-X  Now I'm just eagerly waiting for my book to arrive.

Hey, if any of you order books and miss the "Signing Instructions" box (which I think you have to click before it will let you input anything) just email me with instructions.  It's tough to find that box, and I wish Paypal had a better way of making it obvious.

Ha.  Probably not.  I've already got ONE free book, after all. 

I'm planning to do some sort of contest where I give away posters, though.  Maybe I'll throw in some hardbacks as potential prizes then, too. 

It won't be for a while yet, though.  I was going to run it in May (since Mistborn 3 was scheduled for June) but Mistborn 3 getting pushed back means I'm going to push back the contest.  (Right now, I'm planning it to be "Get someone else to read one of my books, and I'll put your name into the drawing" sort of thing.)

I just wanted to say Thank You once again Brandon.. I got my copy in Yesterday and I all ready have it stashed out of harms way.

This is fantastic.  Do most authors do stuff like this for their fans?

Too bad Mistborn 3 is delayed.  What am I going to do during the long months until it is released?  Oh, I guess I'll just read the first two over and over and over again. :P

Not sure if others do it, honestly.  A lot of people asked me about it, though, so I went ahead and set up the infrastructure.

Because there appears to be interest in this, I just put in an order for ELANTRIS in hardcover.  I found a pile of them at a warehouse, and since I'm incorporated and have a business tax ID, I was able to buy them.

It will take weeks for them to get here, though.  I'm afraid they were much more expensive than MISTBORN, since I could buy that one from Tor, and so I'll probably sell these at $20 too, even though they have a lower cover price than MISTBORN.  They'll also probably have remainder marks (a little dot on the top or bottom of the book) but I figured that it would be a good idea to pick them up.

Sounds cool.  What kind of posters are they?

Mistborn 2 cover posters.  Nice ones with foam backs to keep them stiff, like a display poster you'd see in a bookstore.
