But first, I went to dinner, after a little bit of recovery time. I was with The Usual Suspects (Trisha and the Jasons), as well as Bob Kluttz and his lovely wife Joan (when I knocked over a glass of water: “Hey, we’re supposed to be the Kluttzes here”), Maria Simons, and Brandon Sanderson, at this little Thai/Chinese/sushi place near the hotel. At our urging, Maria and Brandon explained the process of getting a book from manuscript to print, which I’ve heard in several iterations before but for various reasons is endlessly fascinating to me, especially from an “in the trenches” sort of perspective (which said perspective both Maria and Brandon possess in spades, as you well might imagine).
