Queen of the Falconstar currently free

Queen of the Falconstar is one of my lesser-known novels, probably because I haven’t finished the trilogy yet (and when I do, I will definitely get better cover art). But I’m currently writing the second and third books, and hope to publish them both later this year, so I figured it was a good time… Continue reading Queen of the Falconstar currently free

Has Brandon Sanderson gone woke?

Update (11 Jan 2025): Brandon has addressed this question with his blog post On Renarin and Rlain, and I have responded with Yes, Brandon Sanderson has gone woke.

Since it’s the end of the year and I’m already looking back in order to make some new resolutions for 2016, it seems like… Continue reading State of the Vasicek 2015

It’s done!

Yesterday I finally finished the second draft of Friends in Command (Sons of the Starfarers: Book IV)! I know I’d said I was working on other projects, but those were intermittent—this was the main one I was focusing on. I still need to run it by my first readers, but I’m pretty sure this is… Continue reading It’s done!
