Q&AQ&A with fantasy author Brandon Sanderson
It takes a brave author to take over the reins of a fantasy series with as much history and fan support as Robert Jordan’s “The Wheel of Time.”
Jordan passed away in September 2007 before completing the final entry in the series, which started in 1990. After reading a novel by a up-and-coming fantasy author Brandon Sanderson, Jordan’s widow selected Sanderson to co-author the series’ conclusion using notes Jordan made before his death.
Sanderson will be the literary guest of honor for the 25th anniversary of LibertyCon, a long-standing science and science-fiction convention going on this weekend at the Chattanooga Choo Choo. As part of his appearance, Sanderson will be signing autographs, lecturing on writing technique and discussing the final Wheel of Time novel, “A Memory of Light.”
