Last year on the eve of Phoenix Comicon, Elevengeddon assembled a huge force of sci-fi and fantasy authors for a booksigning at Poisoned Pen in Scottsdale. This year, it is back, and bigger and better than before! Seriously, this time around it involves wristbands and delayed entry times, all because of some dudes named Pat Rothfuss and Brandon Sanderson.
For more info, go to the Poisoned Pen’s event page over here. Here’s some extra stuff to keep in mind, too:
We are limiting the number of books that can be signed by Brandon Sanderson and Patrick Rothfuss to three each per person and we wanted to let everyone know in advance if possible. We will be issuing colored wristbands that will correspond to 45 minute units of time. We will begin issuing these at 6:00 PM and the first group will run from 7:00-7:45 and so on. We will be asking people to line up by the front door at the beginning of their group’s time. They will have to line up outside if numbers are big, so we want them to be prepared. Wristbands will either be issued by the front counter or, if numbers are big, by staff members in front of the store. Wristbands are free, however we are requesting everyone to buy something, though it is not required.
As a personal aside: with signings like this, it is courteous to always buy at least one new book, even if you are bringing a stack to have signed. It’s the best way to say “thank you!” to the bookseller who is hosting the event.
I will be happy to sign copies of Clockwork Dagger, Clockwork Crown, napkins, ARCs of Breath of Earth, any anthologies that feature my work, underwear, shaved cats, etc. Plus, you can get snazzy stickers featuring my book covers!
