PASSAGE: VERGE (1989) by Michael Whelan

I had the pleasure of meeting Brandon Sanderson last weekend at a signing for his new book Firefight. It’s crazy that it took this long to meet him. I bought his debut novel the week it was released in hardcover, and I spent several years handing his books to any reader looking for a recommendation—and many who weren’t!

Not only is Brandon a talented writer with a lot of interesting things to say about the craft, he’s also an extremely nice guy. I’m glad I had a chance to chat with him.

I knew Brandon had previously written about how Michael’s cover for Dragonsbane by Barbara Hambly sparked his interest as a reader. What I didn’t know is that Elantris, Brandon’s first published novel, was inspired by a Whelan fine art painting as well…PASSAGE: VERGE.
