Some authors enter into success without it changing them.
Brent Weeks is one of them.
From the moment we met, I knew he was someone I would not only read but befriend. He is what is best about humanity. With a ready smile and faster laugh, Brent sets people at ease immediately but is also a great conversationalist. In an age of intelligent cynicism, to have someone be smart and good humored is a rarity.
I’m pleased all of the success he has received has not changed Brent at all.
His last book, The Black Prism, debuted at #23 on the New York Times bestselling list. It’s a testament to how Brent was rolled out by his publisher but also shows how quickly his fan base has grown in such a short time. For an author who spent 6 years trying to get his Night Angel trilogy published, he has done remarkably well and his fans are already feverishly waiting for the The Black Prism’s sequel, The Blinding Knife.
Brent has finished the first draft of the next book and is deep into edits but today he did something kind for his fans. While The Blinding Knife won’t be published until Fall 2012, he has decided to release the first three chapters of the forthcoming book!

The book will be published in paperback next week!
