The Marion Public Library will host an author visit on Wednesday, February 25, 2015 at 7:00pm featuring Brian McClellan. He will be discussing his work and will be available for book signings. Copies of his books will also be available for purchase.
McClellan published the first book of the Powder Mage trilogy, The Promise of Blood, in 2013. The second book, The Crimson Campaign, was released in May 2014. The final book, The Autumn Republic, was just released in February 2015.
McClellan was selected as the 2014 Morningstar Award for Best Fantasy Newcomer for The Promise of Blood.
McClellan 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 his “feeble attempts at plotting and characters more than he should have.”
McClellan continued to study writing not just as an art but as a business and was determined this would be his life-long career.
McClellan 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).
