As a reward for hitting some stretch goals this year, Worldbuilders put together video compilations of SFF authors reading Dr. Seuss’s classic tongue twister, Fox in Socks. You can listen to (and watch!) Brent’s rendition of Fox in Socks, along with Brad Beaulieu and Sabaa Tahir, below.
Every year, Pat Rothfuss hosts Worldbuilders, which raises money for Heifer International via auctions and a lottery.
How does the lottery work? Pat says, “For each $10 donation you give through our Team Heifer page, your name gets entered into the lottery. Donate $50, you have 5 chances of winning. Donate $1,000 and your name is in the hat 100 times. We have had folks who donated $20 walk away with highly sought-after, signed, limited edition books.”
This year, the lottery includes a chance to win set of signed The Lightbringer Series books in trade paperback — or perhaps some other very cool signed SFF donations. (Check out some of the amazing loot you could win, HERE.)
If you’d like to bid on the auction items, go HERE.
If you live in the Portland, Oregon area, come join me this Sunday, November 22 at 4pm for the 9th Annual Sci-Fi Authorfest at Powell’s Books Cedar Hills Boulevard. I’ll be there signing books along with 20 other authors, including Devon Monk, Kristine Kathryn Rusch, Dean Wesley Smith, Steve Perry, and more!
As part of the famous Worldbuilders’ annual fundraiser, Pat Rothfuss asked some SFF authors to read some 1-star reviews. Including Brent.
Enjoy!
Also, new poll!! –>
Brent sat down with Patrick Hester of SF Signal to discuss what Brent’s working on now, the Dread Pirate Roberts, that very cruel prank he played on his fans last tour — and how he managed to top it.
To hear their discussion, go HERE.
Brent has an Reddit AMA going on today over at r/Fantasy. Go ask him (almost) anything HERE.
Brent has an extensive new interview over at Fantasy Faction — probably his longest interview ever! Find out the answers to questions about the Nine Kings game, Brent’s thoughts on e-publication and the novella, what Brent’s goal is as a writer, and more.
P.S. Brent would like to thank Marc Aplin and Fantasy Faction for all their fine contributions to discussions in the genre.
