Brent Weeks studied at Hillsdale College, before brief stints walking the earth like Caine from Kung-Fu, also tending bar, and corrupting the youth. (Not at the same time.) He started writing on napkins and, eventually, someone paid him for it. Brent doesn't own cats or wear a ponytail.

Brett * One of the best examples of modern fantasy that I've read * FANTASY FACTION on THE BLACK PRISM * Places Brent Weeks on comfortable footing beside contemporaries like Brandon Sanderson and Joe Abercrombie, if not a step above * A DRIBBLE OF INK on THE BLINDING KNIFE *
