I bet you will never ever guess………
Brandon Sanderson and Robert Jordan (in spirit) will be coming to our local library to talk about their new book - The Gathering Storm. How cool is that!
This coming Monday evening JD and I will have dinner out and then go and listen to an author’s talk and get a couple of signed books. Fun! Fun! Fun!
What is even more fun is that I will be purchasing at least one signed copy of their book for giveaway here on Layers of Thought. Soon I will have a post with hopefully some pictures of Sanderson and maybe a wisp of Jordan with myself/John for you all to see.
This will be of particular interest to a few of our readers here. Krista, Logan and David come to mind.
So dear readers stay tuned, our good fortune and fun is yours as well.

That is very awesome!!! I will definitely enter this awesome giveaway!! Sanderson is sooo cool!
Oh, and I just want to let you know also that Robert Jordan is no longer with us :( he passed away September 16, 2007 and his wife asked Sanderson to finish up this series with Jordan's notes and such. More info here if you are interested... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6apckMB0Ww
But it is totally cool that you will get to meet Sanderson my all time favorite author! You lucky girl!!! I hope I win the signed copy...LOL! :)
Have fun and I'm looking forward to seeing those pictures :)
Wow! That is exciting news. I hope you both have a terrific time. Love to hear about your adventure later. :)
I just started The Gathering Storm last night, but the tour isn't coming anywhere particularly near me. Sad! I hope you have an excellent time!
Hi Shellie :)
I DM'd you on Twitter!
I know you will have a terrific time at the book signing!
All the best,
RKCharron
Sweet! Man, you reminded me.... he's going to be here in San Diego on the 15th! That's this Sunday! I better go scout the details and see if I can go see/hear him as well. I'd like to meet him and grab an autographed book as well...
Yay team!
He was just 4 hours away (adding in the time zone change) from me this past week and I really wanted to go see him, but I could not. Other plans, no time, and I had to work.
But that's awesome he's coming to a library near you.
Have fun!
Thanks to all for letting me know about the incorrect and poorly researched post.
I was informed by Krista in her comment by Charlie through the email, and a DM tweet from Rk that my post was incorrect.
I felt like a real heal. I thought remembering he had passed away but found an event notification on Goodreads saying Jordon would be at the signing and thought I had made an error.
I have since corrected this post and notified the tour company saying that I did not think their false advertising was in good taste.
Krista -
I am going to get myself a copy of Warbreaker...signed!
Maybe you will win :).
Donna -
I love hearing about other reader's adventures like this too.
I remember your post of a first authors event. It was great!
Firefly -
I have read the first book in Jordan's series so I won't be reading The gathering Storm soon.
But I look forward to your thoughts since I loved Mistborn by Sanderson.
It will be interesting to see if it blends well. I am sure it does.
RK -
Thanks so much for the tweet. I am going to aptly name you the "tweet heart" of the month. :)
David -
Wow that will be great if this post was the catalyst for your personally signed copy. I would feel useful in a fun sort of way.
Logan -
Maybe you will win the signed copy here. And perhaps you can live vicariously through us in the updated post?
Thanks all for the comments. Have a Happy Saturday!
What an awesome treat!
BTW, I have an award for you at

Hey, don't feel bad we all make mistakes! I still Love you, Shellie :) and you are right false advertising is never good :(
Can't wait to see what book you get signed and giveaway!! Yippee is right!!! ;)
Krista -
I seem to be making my more than fair share lately - I am glad you still love me :)
I will probably get the post live by the end of the week.
I am looking forward to not cooking as much as meeting Sanderson. lol!
