Patrick Rothfuss
Congratulations are in order this week to The Name of the Wind author Patrick Rothfuss, following the birth of a son with his partner Sarah.
“She started having contractions Friday night, and we had the baby Tuesday morning. So no matter how you count it, it was long,” Rothfuss wrote on this blog this week. “The end result is pretty good though. Little Oot is healthy and happy. He resembles his daddy in that he likes boobs and sleeping. Everything else will be sorted out later.”
Rothfuss has earlier posted that “Oot” is a temporary name he has assigned to his son until he was born and received something more permanent.
The author’s blog has been inundated with comments from fans congratulating him and his family on the newborn – 208 at last count. “Way to reproduce! We need more Rothfusses (Rothfi?) in the world,” wrote one.
Rothfuss is currently working on the second volume of his The Kingkiller Chronicle, entitled The Wise Man’s Fear. He has previous disclosed that he has submitted the first draft of the manuscript to his editor, but it’s unclear when the book is due to be published.
