Updates, THE GATHERING STORM chapter two audio

Following up on Tor's release of the ebook of THE GATHERING STORM's prologue and their free preview of chapter one, this past Thursday Tor.com put up the audio version of the second chapter (registration required). As is standard for Egwene chapters in Wheel of Time audiobooks, it's performed by the talented Kate Reading. Give it a listen!

In this week's Writing Excuses podcast, John Brown rejoins Howard, Dan, and me for a discussion of how to avoid repeating yourself as a writer. And the most recent MISTBORN 3 annotation covers wide-ranging topics from nostalgia to Tolkien and Hoid.

And if you've been following me on Twitter or Facebook you know that copies of THE GATHERING STORM arrived here at Dragonsteel headquarters today. (My assistant posted pictures.) Wow, it's actually real.
