Does anyone have an idea when sample chapter(s) will be released online.  I live in Australia, and we don't even have Warbreaker here.  We've had Mistborn for a while (which I thought was excellent), but it seems that the Elantris and Warbreaker books here won't be coming out for a little while.  I've ended up ordering those two from overseas just so I can read them.
But I've preordered The Way of Kings, and basically I'm just about bursting at the seams with excitement waiting for it to be released.  SO any idea if/when sample chapters are going to be online?

Well, the American release date is August 30th, so sometime before that.  But you probably already knew that. :P

Chapters will most likely be released on Tor.com first, possibly starting this month.
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!

Thanks a lot Peter.  Much appreciated.

link- If you want to, while you wait for your books to come, you can just read Warbreaker on his website!

(It's near the bottom, Tor hardcover)

Also, I'll now add Tor to the list of websites I check daily.

How many chapters is he planning on releasing? I could possibly go into shock if I start reading and can't finish. Eep.

Question for my fellow betas: Does this count as Alpha reading?

Nope. If it's released in any form to the public, it is open to the Beta readers.

That's not beta reading. Beta readers are like Miyabi and fRR who read almost the final draft. To be a beta, you have to read at a stage where you can still give feedback that gets acted on.

MY BAD! Omega is what I ment. Thought he was joking around about the new self proclaimed Omega readers. Mind fart.

I don't think so. Omegas read stuff that is available to the general public. This means anything publicly posted on his website is fair game.

Omegas aren't masochists. I'm not going to refrain from reading publicly-released excerpts!
