[OPLINLIST] Brian McClellan author visit at Marion Public Library

[Gary S. Butler]

Marion, OH - Debut fantasy and Ohio Author Brian McClellan will be
visiting the Marion Public Library on Tuesday, July 16 at 7:00 p.m. Mr.
McClellan will be discussing his book Promise of Blood and the Muskets
and Magic subgenre followed by a book signing. The program is free and
open to the public with refreshments and a door prize. Here is a little
more about the author from his website http://www.brianmcclellan.com
<http://www.brianmcclellan.com/>  :

 

Brian lives in Cleveland, Ohio with his wife, two dogs, a cat, and
between 6,000 and 60,000 honey bees (depending on the time of year).

 

He began writing on Wheel of Time role playing websites at fifteen.
Encouraged toward writing by his parents, he started working on short
stories and novellas in his late teens. He went on to major in English
with an emphasis on creative writing at Brigham Young University. It was
here he met Brandon Sanderson, who encouraged Brian's feeble attempts at
plotting and characters more than he should have.

 

Brian continued to study writing not just as an art but as a business
and was determined this would be his life-long career. He attended Orson
Scott Card's Literary Boot camp in 2006. In 2008, he received honorable
mention in the Writers of the Future Contest.

 

In November 2011, The Powder Mage Trilogy sold at auction to Orbit
Books. Book one, Promise of Blood, is out now from Orbit Books. Book
two, The Crimson Campaign, is due out in February of 2014.
