Adrian Gomez of The Albuquerque Journal interviewed Brent last week as part of a preview for Bubonicon. Though you’ll need to answer 1 short poll question to access it, you can go HERE to check it out.
Aidan Moher of the influential fantasy blog, A Dribble of Ink, has often expressed his hatred of the over-abundance of Hooded Man covers in fantasy.
He interviews Lauren Panepinto, creative director of Orbit, and designer of my covers (which the eagle-eyed among you have noticed feature hooded men) about a design that became a trope that became a cliché. Check it out HERE.

Brent has just given a new interview over at the Brent Weeks Fan Forum. Brent answers some questions about what could be next after Lightbringer and the next Night Angel series, which character he would be if he could play a part in a Night Angel movie, and why he is so cruel to his characters. Big thanks to fan Alderan, who put together the questions and posted them!
