Hey! Brandon here with your Weekly Update!

Number one, Stormlight 5, is going pretty well. I’m going to conservatively move the percentage up to, Bing! 12%. It probably will end the week a little higher than that but that feels about right to me now. Writing is going well. If you followed my updates years ago when I was working on Book 4, I got the outline into really good shape. So the outline’s looking good and I’m feeling confident about this. I just have so many things to juggle right now it’s going just a little bit slower than I wanted it to. But 2% nonetheless, which is reflecting around 50,000 words of progress on it.

So a couple of other cool things. Shadows of Self, which is in the Wax and Wayne series, it’s going to be up as a free eBook on August 23 through 26. We’ll give you a reminder here. If you’ve already read the first book and want to get the second book, the second book’s going to be a free eBook coming up here very soon.

The Bastille book, shirt, and bundle are all now available. So you can go and order one of those and we’ll send you a cool t-shirt, a little swag bundle, and a signed copy of the book. It’s the last book in the Alcatraz series, titled Bastille Versus the Evil Librarians because it’s written from Bastille’s viewpoint. Speaking of t-shirts, the t-shirt contest is underway for the last Wax and Wayne book. That ends August 31st.

Only one other thing. The weekend before Dragonsteel convention, there’s a local group putting on a Magic: The Gathering convention, and I’m going to be going there and showing off my cube. The MTG Summit in Salt Lake City will be at the Salt Palace Convention Center- the same place as Dragonsteel Con. I’ve known the MTG guys for a long time, so I’m hoping they have a very successful convention for their Magic Summit. I’ll be there, hanging out and playing my cube, probably with some celebrities and things like that. So there you are. I’ll be back next week to tell you how Stormlight 5 is progressing. Thank you, always, for paying attention, and for tuning in and listening to me ramble.
