Author Bio:
Brandon Sanderson was born in
1975 in Lincoln, Nebraska. As a child Brandon enjoyed reading, but he
lost interest in the types of titles often suggested to him, and by
junior high he never cracked a book if he could help it. This changed
when an eighth grade teacher gave him
Dragonsbane
by Barbara Hambly.
Brandon was working on his thirteenth novel when Moshe Feder at Tor Books bought the sixth he had written. Tor has published
Elantris, the Mistborn trilogy and its followup
The Alloy of Law,
Warbreaker, and
The Way of Kings, the first in the planned ten-volume series The
Stormlight Archive. He was chosen to complete Robert Jordan’s Wheel of
Time series; 2009’s
The Gathering Storm
and 2010’s
Towers of Midnight
were followed by the final book in the series,
A Memory of Light, in January 2013. Four books in his middle-grade
Alcatraz Versus the Evil Librarians
series were released by Scholastic, and his novella
Infinity Blade Awakening
was an ebook bestseller for Epic Games accompanying their acclaimed Infinity Blade iOS video game series. Two more novellas,
Legion
and
The Emperor s Soul, were released by Subterranean Press and Tachyon Publications in 2012, and 2013 brings two young adult novels,
The Rithmatist
from Tor and
Steelheart
from Delacorte.
The only author to make the short list for
the David Gemmell Legend Award six times in four years, Brandon won that
award in 2011 for The Way of Kings. The Emperor’s Soul won the 2013 Hugo Award for Best Novella. He has hit the New York Times Hardcover Fiction Best-Seller List seven times, with all three Wheel of Time books hitting the #1 spot.
