Woo hoo! It looks like the hometown kid made good. Making the transition from paperback to hardcover is a bit scary: Will anyone think a Brent Weeks book is worth 25 bones? Well, it seems that some people do. Enough people, in fact, to make the Gray Lady notice. The Black Prism debuted on The [...]

This Looks Perilously Close to Hawking my Wares
And I’m not a big ware-hawker… (Hmm, a were-hawk, there’s a story in that somewhere). *ahem* So, you’re looking for a signed book. Some authors are crazy enough that they grow big beards and say, Send All Your Books To My House (With Something Interesting) And I Will Sign It. Problem is, I’m not that [...]
Essay on How I Wrote The Black Prism
I was flattered when local (amazing) indie bookstore Powells asked me to do an essay for Powells.com, and stunned when I saw the great list of other authors they’ve had do the same. I didn’t want to just phone in some marketing schtick, so I worked hard on this. I really hope you enjoy it. [...]
Black Prism Reviews… already?
And now comes the terrifying time when I start to hear from reviewers–who often read differently than fans. Gulp. Here we go… Grasping for the Wind says, “When I expected [Weeks] to zig, he zagged, and when I expected a character to be a certain type of person, Weeks would throw me for a loop…. [...]
Russian Launch of The Way of Shadows

Shaun Farrell runs a website and podcast called Adventures in Sci-Fi Publishing. Shaun wasn’t on my planned itinerary of interviews, but I’m glad we threw something together. I’ve heard other authors praise Shaun’s [...]

TGFAVBT
For all of you who’ve been interested in seeing me, but who don’t live in any of the cities I’ll be visiting on my book tour, Orbit had the great idea of sending me on The Great First Annual Video Blog Tour. Sure, sure, other guys have done blog tours before, but TGFAVBT is new, [...]
GraphicAudio releases final Night Angel audio
If you enjoy audiobooks or their good-looking sister, the radio stage play, you may want to check out GraphicAudio. They’ve just released the final volume of Beyond the Shadows. I’ve had really good feedback so far, but if you’re on the fence or just curious what the deal is, they have free samples of their [...]
