Geekvengers spoke with Brent about his forthcoming novel (The Broken Eye), discussed some of his plans for the next Midcyru series, and heard why writing prequels (like Perfect Shadow) can be so challenging.

Brent had a great time talking with the Geek Bomb Book Club (hosted by Maude Garrett) and answering questions from some fans.

Thanks Geek Bomb!
When I first published The Way of Shadows, I made a joke in the back about ‘Where I get my ideas’ (a question every writer gets–a lot). I said I had no ideas, I just paid a Bulgarian to think them up for me…
Can’t tell you the number of times I’ve had people think I was serious. (How do I get this kind of idea-making-up job? Why a Bulgarian? Aren’t American ideas good enough for you?)
But now I have another reason to not use that joke–because the first two books of the Lightbringer Series is coming to Bulgaria! We’ve also picked up a few other languages. The entire Night Angel trilogy is coming to Brazil, Romania is testing the waters with The Way of Shadows, France picks up Perfect Shadow, and mainland China will be getting the entire Lightbringer Series.
Also, because it’s Valentine’s Day, take this yawning baby hedgehog. No one can be sad when they see a yawning baby hedgehog.
I will be joining Geek Bomb for a live Google Hangout on this Sunday, February 16th at 10:00 PM Pacific Standard Time. (That’s Monday, February 17th at 5:00 PM for you Aussies on the Sydney time zone!) Be sure to join us HERE.
If you haven’t heard of Geek Bomb — Host Maude Garrett and team cover video games, reviews, Dungeons & Dragons, Star Wars and all manner of things geek! (Maude often gets to chat with real celebrities, so I hope she enjoys slumming it with me!*)
If you’d like to participate on the panel, you can email geekbombshells @ gmail.com (without the spaces) with a 60 second clip stating why you’d be perfect for the panel and what you’d like to ask Brent!

UPDATE: The bidding is over. We’ve raised $3,050 for Worldbuilders! Thanks to all who participated.
How would you like to have dinner — in Seattle — with these epic fantasy authors?
Followed by a tour of the Fantasy exhibit at the EMP museum?
Concluded by a care package of a signed book from each author?
You could enjoy just such an evening if you win THIS Worldbuilders Charity Auction.
If you haven’t heard of Worldbuilders, it’s a charitable organization founded by Pat Rothfuss (and supported by the fantasy community in general) to help fund Heifer International.
Check out the auction page HERE for more details! The bidding ends on February 2, 2014.
You have a decision to make:
So, given that I’m scheduled against the Game of Thrones panel, and I know some of you will accidentally wander into that one, I’ve decided to ADD AN EVENT.
Limited to the first ten people who email me (brent at brent weeks dot com), I’m doing a kaffeeklatsch. What’s a kaffeeklatsch? The eleven of us meet at a restaurant or coffee house, and chat for an hour or two. We can talk publishing, or my books, or how hot Jason Momoa is. No, not that last one. Informal, and a chance to hang out a bit. (Time and day to be determined, I’ll let you know via email.)
Space City Con is happening this Friday through Sunday, January 3-6, in Galveston, Texas. Other authors include Cherie Priest and Larry Correia. So if you’re in Houston, Galveston, or somewhere within driving distance, come check it out!
Go HERE to buy your tickets and HERE to see a complete schedule.
My reading and Q&A will be on Saturday, January 4 in the Garden Cay room from 2:30pm to 3:45pm.
From the fantastic Andy MacDonald, artist for the upcoming Way of Shadows graphic novel:
Thanks for a great 2013. May your holidays be bright and full of cheer!
Merry Christmas,
Brent
