About the author
Brent Weeks was born and raised in Montana. After getting his paper keys
from Hillsdale college, Brent had brief stints walking the earth like Caine
from Kung Fu, tending bar, and corrupting the youth. (Not at the same
time.) He started writing on bar napkins, then on lesson plans, then full
time. Eventually, someone paid him for it. Brent lives in Oregon with his
wife, Kristi. He doesn’t own cats or wear a pony-tail. Find out more about
