Interview #846: BayCon 2012 - Galley Table Podcast with Brandon Sanderson, Entry #5

Phillip Carroll

One other question Zach’s wife had is, do you plan on doing any more YA humor books like Alcatraz?

Brandon Sanderson

I actually have several that I want to do. My schedule’s very packed; actually my next YA books are not humor; they’re more adventurous. Well, I’ve got one that’s more epic fantasy-ish, and one that’s more adventurous. I do want to finish out the Alcatraz series; I actually bought it back from Scholastic, and bringing it to Tor, and then I’m going to finish it off. I also have a book I’ve wanted to write forever called “Zeke Harbinger, Destroyer of Worlds” which is about a young man who, whenever he visits a planet—it’s a science fiction—for whatever reason the planet ends up blowing up. It’s not really his fault, but there’s like a nuclear catastrophe on one, or things like that—don’t worry, people are getting evacuated—but whenever goes to a planet it blows up, and that’s kind of his…the series is about, you know, each book you visit a planet, and for some reason it ends up exploding. So, you know, I have silly things like that that I want to do. “Mulholland Homebrew’s Sinister Shop of Secret Pets”, a little fantasy story about a girl who accidentally apprentices herself to a guy who runs a fantasy pet shop. You know, stuff like that. Weird things, it’s what goes through my head. We’ll see if I actually end up writing it.

Phillip Carroll

Well, that’s nice.
