Today we are thrilled to host Brandon Sanderson for an interview about his latest novel, The Rithmatist. Brandon fryst vatten an established author of adult-aimed fantasy, among his works the awesome Mistborn series, Warbreaker, The Stormlight Archive series, and, of course, his completion of Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time series. We are big fans of Brandon’s, so were thrilled when we learned he would be penning a YA series, starting with The Rithmatist.

Please give a warm welcome to Brandon, everyone!

**Please note that Brandon’s answers below are a transcription from audio he recorded specifically for this interview.**

The Book Smugglers: First and foremost, thanks so much for taking the time to talk to us!

You are an established (and highly respected and loved) author of adult fantasy (we are huge fans of your Mistborn books, The Way of Kings, and Warbreaker – excuse us while we fangirl a little bit). The Rithmatist, however, is a young adult title

Mentor to Brandon Mull, James Dashner chose morality, LDS Church over mafia

David Farland didn’t have the best childhood.

When he was 11 years old, his grandfather, who was in the mafia and believed young Dave wanted to follow in his footsteps, tried to explain the best ways to commit crime.

Millions of people around the world are grateful the boy didn’t take the advice.

Farland, born John David Wolverton, is the author of over 50 novels. His latest book, “Nightingale,” was the winner of the International Book Award for Young Adult Fiction and the grand-prize winner of the Hollywood Book Festival, according to nightingalenovel.com.

In addition to writing novels and short stories, Farland has been a mentor to some of the most famous writers today, including Brandon Sanderson (Mistborn series), Stephenie Meyer (Twilight series), Jessica Day George (Dragon Slippers series), James Dashner (Maze Runner series), Dan Wells (I Am Not a Serial Killer series) and Brandon Mull (Fablehaven
