Many of you know that Ben Wolverton, son of bestselling author David Farland (and one of our main Superstars instructors) in the hospital after a severe head injury, and Dave has decided that he won’t be able to teach at Superstars this year; Ben’s condition is just too much up in the air and he wants to focus his energies where they need to be. In the meantime, if you want to help Ben, there’s another book bomb set for this Saturday, May 4, Star Wars Day. Here’s the link to spread the word around: http://www.helpwolverton.com/p/star-wars-twitter-bomb.html

In the silver-lining department, bestselling author Tracy Hickman has agreed to fill in for Dave, so our brain trust will not be at all diminished. You’ll still have a great Superstars experience. Tracy was also a guest instructor at the 2011 Salt Lake City Superstars.

Tracy Hickman is many times over an International and NYT Best-selling fantasy and science-fiction author with over fifty books in print. He has in excess of thirty years’ experience in the crafting and selling of the written word. He is also a pioneer in electronic- and self-publishing which he teaches in his own online writing workshops and seminars. He specializes in character and story structure as well as the new paradigms of publishing in the ebook age.

The 2013 Superstars Writing Seminar is coming up in less than two weeks in Colorado Springs (May 14–16).  For the full schedule and details on Superstars, see the Superstars Writing Seminar homepage.
