Bestselling author Brandon Sanderson stopped by the University Bookstore in Seattle, WA on November 11, 2011 in support of his new book, The Alloy of Law!
He has outgrown the actual physical trappings of the bookstore, his expanding fan base making it necessary for a larger venue. In this case, Brandon welcomed fans to the Methodist Church across the street from the University Bookstore, where he talked about his work on the last Wheel of Time novel, read from a forthcoming novella titled Legion, and answered questions from his fans.

Here is a bit more about The Alloy of Law:
Fresh from the success of The Way of Kings, Brandon Sanderson, best known for completing Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time®, takes a break to return to the world of the bestselling Mistborn series.
Three hundred years after the events of the Mistborn trilogy, Scadrial is now on the verge of modernity, with railroads to supplement the canals, electric lighting in the streets and the homes of the wealthy, and the first steel-framed skyscrapers racing for the clouds.
Kelsier, Vin, Elend, Sazed, Spook, and the rest are now part of history—or religion. Yet even as science and technology are reaching new heights, the old magics of Allomancy and Feruchemy continue to play a role in this reborn world. Out in the frontier lands known as the Roughs, they are crucial tools for the brave men and women attempting to establish order and justice.
One such is Waxillium Ladrian, a rare Twinborn, who can Push on metals with his Allomancy and use Feruchemy to become lighter or heavier at will. After twenty years in the Roughs, Wax has been forced by family tragedy to return to the metropolis of Elendel. Now he must reluctantly put away his guns and assume the duties and dignity incumbent upon the head of a noble house. Or so he thinks, until he learns the hard way that the mansions and elegant tree-lined streets of the city can be even more dangerous than the dusty plains of the Roughs.
Below is the video of Brandon talking about The Alloy of Law, how it ties into the Mistbornseries, and how the trilogy of trilogies are all linked. Enjoy!
The Alloy of Law by Brandon Sanderson is in fine bookstores now!
Did I miss something, or what was he talking about in the beginning? The pilot and Lionsgate and such?
