Interview #428: BarnesandNoble.com Book Club Q&A with Brandon Sanderson, Entry #45

Nightfire

Hey Mr. Sanderson, I know that A Memory of Light should be finished in the next couple years (at the latest). I know that you tend to work on multiple projects. Unless you are planning to do another (totally) new project can we expect another Warbreaker , Elantris , or preferably Mistborn book as you release the ten Way of Kings books?

Brandon Sanderson

I do like to work on multiple projects. During those early unpublished years, I was always hopping from book to book, and it became habit for me. It really helps me keep fresh, allowing me to try new things and experiment with my style. One of the hardest thinks about working on the WoT has been the number of side projects I’ve had to set aside because of lack of time.

And so, with The Way of Kings series (aka The Stormlight Archive) I plan to do the books on a 2-to-1 ration. Meaning two Stormlight books, followed by one random side book. Generally, you should expect three books every two years from me, as that’s been my speed. So there should still be a Stormlight book every year, though we’ll see.

Some will be new things, others will be in current series. My current plans are to do an Elantris sequel in 2015, for instance, and I’d like to do the second (and final) Warbreaker book eventually.
