German Reader’s Choice/Leserpreis 2013
The Blinding Knife has been nominated for another book award — or rather, the German translation, Die Blendende Klinge, has been nominated. If you’re a German-language reader and lover of fantasy, please consider voting for my book HERE. The polls close on November 28th, and the winners will be announced on November 29th.
A special thanks to Hans Link and Clemens Brunn, my German translators for their vital work.
Legend Award Interview
by CAPSLOCK
As you know, Brent is up for The David Gemmell Legend Award. The organizers have been running a series of interviews with the finalists, and they’ve just posted Brent’s interview. You can go HERE to see why Brent really wants to take home Snaga, how he feels about fantasy becoming a more international genre, and why he chose to write Lightbringer in the first place.
P.S. If you haven’t voted yet, go HERE to cast your ballot for The Blinding Knife!
Announcing the Fan Art Contest Winner!
by CAPSLOCK
Brent promised to pick one random entry for the fan art contest entry, and we have a winner!
Emily E. won for her double-submission of these images (though we only counted them as one when Brent randomly selected a winner):
The prize was originally for a signed copy of The Black Prism in trade paperback, but since it’s taken us a while to post all the entries, we’re also going to send the winner a signed copy of The Blinding Knife in trade paperback.
We’ll be running another contest soon, so keep an eye on the site.
Congratulations, Emily!

The Blinding Knife: Trade Paperback
by CAPSLOCK
The Blinding Knife is available today in trade paperback online and in bookstores everywhere. Go HERE to order yours if you haven’t already.
What will you get?
1. TWO exclusive chapters of The Broken Eye, the next book in The Lightbringer Series (remember THIS? Now you can actually read it!)*
2. A complete glossary, character list, map and appendix of The Lightbringer world.
3. A more compact version to hand off to friends and family:
4. And look how well it goes together with The Black Prism trade paperback!
*UPDATE FROM BRENT for UK READERS: Those of you who get the copy distributed from the U.K. WILL NOT find the extra chapters. I’m really sorry about this — I only found about it about a week ago (after the printing was already completed). I hope you really enjoy Brian McClellan’s chapters of Promise of Blood, which is there instead. All the other extras are there.
