- @PVBrett – You can read a book with slightly sticky dessert fingers, but you can’t work an iPad.
- @PVBrett – Hardest part about doing a bunch of written interviews is finding new interesting ways to answer the same damn ten questions everyone asks.
- @PVBrett – Exactly 5000 twitter followers! What do I win? http://t.co/WgE8PvVr
- @PVBrett – Awesome. RT @HarperFiction 10 days until The Daylight War comes out & it’s already in the Amazon Top 100. http://t.co/wLp2b8IA
- @PVBrett -Want to read the first 50 pages of The Daylight War? You know you do… http://t.co/UbBl4oPm
- @PVBrett – We now interrupt our regularly scheduled book release ramp-up for a (hopefully) short visit from the flu.
- @PVBrett – Aaaaaand cut. http://t.co/zfdSMnpD
- @PVBrett – There is relief, and some sadness, at the thought of never having to lug around another humungous Wheel of Time hardcover.
- @PVBrett – If I shave my beard before the tour, it might make things easier with the TSA, but I wouldn’t look like a fantasy author anymore. #catch22
- @PVBrett – UK Printing error beauty. Totally unreadable, but definitely a keeper. http://t.co/zcTJtDhr Via @HarperVoyager
- PVBrett – Advised by @brentweeks to save small bills for tipping on tour. Feels like I’m heading to a strip club instead: http://t.co/3yzl8VNq
- PVBrett – Apparently @brandsanderson will be at http://t.co/ixlARZwr to sign two days after me. I should leave him a note… or put gum on the chair.

- PVBrett – Today has been a great day for t-shirt deliveries: http://t.co/NempkEOq

- @PVBrett – Ordered room svc and Wreck-It Ralph. Which robe should I lounge in? http://t.co/6QzpisVR #klimpton
- @PVBrett – A lot of people are saying Daylight War ends in a cliffhanger just because there is a literal cliff involved. But no. That fight was over.
- @PVBrett – Look Mom, I have a real job! Daylight War just hit #3 on the London Times Bestseller List!
- Numbers are in! Daylight War debuts at #19 on NYT hardcover list, #28 on e-book list and #25 on print/e combined bestseller lists. Woohoo!
- @PVBrett – The wonderful team at @awfulagent sent me a surprise gift for making the Times list: http://t.co/QCeE3tZp
- @PVBrett – I am regaling everyone with tales of my years on the Chippendale’s circuit with @brentweeks.
- @PVBrett – My Chinese agent announced the NYT news. Here is the Bing translation: “Fantasy fan’s power is too strong: “magic-Indian man” series the third bomb “day battle” stakes New York Times hardcover fiction list #19!!”
- @PVBrett – The five year old kid flying in a Captain America costume totally just turned my bad airport mood around. He wins at travel.
- @PVBrett – It is pronounced “in-ever-uh”. Krasians call the Creator Everam (ever-ahm) because His will is everything. Inevera means ‘Everam’s will’.
- @PVBrett – Think of your job. Now imagine a person whose sole job is to criticize how you do your job. And they have 1000 assistants. That.
- @PVBrett – Disappointed there was no “Porn and Prejudice”, or “War and Teats”. http://t.co/4fm2HOkgsO
- @PVBrett – Heading to Manchester now, where Grandpa Brett was raised after coming over from Ireland.
- @PVBrett – If all the Scots pissed at me for not coming farther north this trip came down to Manchester, it would be like a reenactment of Braveheart.
