I pull up my slide show. The first slide says āI do not want to financially support the Church of the Latter Day Saints in any wayā. There are murmurs of agreement and approval from the room
Next slide. āBrandon Sanderson is a member of the LDSā. The muttering has changed tone
āItās not a very big amount of money though.ā Someone in the audience pipes up. āHis cut is only a small fraction of the cost of the book, and then-ā my next slide shows an income breakdown, it is titled āa small fraction of $10,000,000 is still a big numberā
Iām sweating. The following slides explain tithing rules. The vibe of the room has shifted. I start to doubt Iām getting out of here alive
