Title of Event: David Farland signs Runelords: Chaosbound
Thursday, November 12, at 7:00 PM offers a fantastic and instructive evening. Fantasy author David Farland wears many hats. He also is author David Wolverton, a video game designer, and an editor and teacher (many of his students have become published novelists -- some best-selling ones!). In The Wyrmling Horde, The Earthking's son, Flameweaver Fallion Orden, used his sorcerous powers to unite all of the shadow worlds into "One True World" where mankind can live in peace and harmony. In Chaosbound, Borenson is bound to warrior Aaath Ulber as the worlds merge, and the choice to bind the worlds reveals its costs.
According to his web site, yes, if John Brown's name compels you to sing to him, it's okay. This Writers of the Future winner and OSC Literary Boot Camp participant's debut novel postulates a dark fantasy with a very disturbing premise -- a world where the days of a person's life can be harvested, bought, and stolen – in Servant of a Dark God. Talen is a resident of this world, living in a place where the Divine ruler who protects men from the soul-eaters is missing ... and an ancient power, Hunger, is on the rise to devour men like cattle.
Larry Correia's biography on his web site reads: "Larry Correia. Utah, USA. Description: Male, 33. Very large. Very bald. Occupation: Writer. Merchant of Death (retired). Firearms Instructor. Accountant." Linda is a particular fan of his first novel, Monster Hunter International, in which Owen Pitt becomes the newest recruit in a monster killing organization. His current project is The Grimnoir Chronicle, a fantasy/alternative history where magic began to randomly appear in the mid 1800s, set in the early 20th century.
