Patrick Rothfuss

Patrick Rothfuss has created quite a stir in the fantasy community, with Patrick Heffernan as his faithful advocate. 2007's The Name of the Wind, followed by 2011's The Wise Man's Fear, gained Pat a large fan base; one that brings the hype for his still-untitled third Kingkiller Chronicles novel to an all-time high. This fall, fans can return to the Chronicles' world with The Slow Regard of Silent Things, a novella centering on one of the series' most intriguing characters, Auri, a young woman living in the dark passages underneath the series' university.

This is a numbered event – numbers for the signing line are free with the purchase of The Slow Regard of Silent Things from Mysterious Galaxy, available October 28th, starting at 10 AM!

If you are planning to attend the event, please do not place your order through the web site as all such orders are processed after the event. Instead, please contact the store and purchase the book on or after the on-sale date.

The Name of the Wind: The Kingkiller Chronicle: Day One by Patrick Rothfuss

This is the riveting first-person narrative of Kvothe, a young man who grows to be one of the most notorious magicians his world has ever seen. From his childhood in a troupe of traveling players, to years spent as a near-feral orphan in a crime-riddled city, to his daringly brazen yet successful bid to enter a legendary school of magic, The Name of the Wind is a masterpiece that transports readers into the body and mind of a wizard.

Patrick Rothfuss on tour for The Wise Man's Fear.

Kicking off the second week of my signing tour, I'll be doing an event in in my hometown, Madison, WI. As always, I'll be doing a reading and Q&A session, followed by a signing. Since this event is in on my home turf, we're expecting a good turnout. Just in case you want to call the store, their number is: 608-827-0809 (Alexandria_annex)… (more)

Patrick Rothfuss promotes The Wise Man's Fear.

The fifth stop on my signing tour is in San Diego. I'll be stopping by Mysterious Galaxy to do a bit of a reading, answer questions, and sign copies of The Wise Man's Fear. Since it's on a Saturday, this will also be my first afternoon event. I'll be reading while the sun is still in the sky, threatening us with its terrible burning rays. I'm not sure how I feel about that, as I'm largely nocturnal by nature. If you want to contact Mysterious Galaxy to pre-order your copy of the book, here's their number: 858.268.4747 Swing on by, tell your friends.... (Alexandria_annex)… (more)

Patrick Rothfuss reads from The Wise Man's.

Okay, so you're in LA. It's Friday night. And you're fucking BORED, right? There's nothing good on TV, all your laundry is done, and you're tired of playing cribbage with the old lady in the apartment next door. Believe me, folks. I feel your pain. I know what it's like to live in a little town where there isn't much to do. That's why I've decided to make LA the fourth stop on my book tour.... I'll be reading, signing books, and answering questions. I might also decide to wear a tux. Because I like wearing a tux. If you want to pre-order your copy of The Wise Man's Fear, you can give the store a call at 714-897-8781. C'mon. Stop in. It's not like you have anything better to do... P.S. Yes. I'm aware that Huntington Beach isn't in LA, technically. Still, you have to admit it's pretty close... (Alexandria_annex)… (more)
