Man, I thought you meant Zachary Quinto. I had all my hopes up that maybe I had the slightest of chances... but alas, t'will never be.

Hello! Your book series, the Old Kingdom (the Abhorsen series) is my absolute favorite and I probably think about the characters on a daily basis. I've read/listened to them on audiobook about 50 times. I met you in Portland 7 or 8 years ago after reading Sabriel (my book was filled with post-its for a class, and I felt embarrassed because you read one of them, ha!)

That being said, two questions:

1. What is the "sort-of sequel" going to be about, and how far into the future will it be set?

2. What character in the Old Kingdom series do you like the most and why?

Thanks so much!

Thanks so much for answering! I still have that autographed book. I hope you have a lot of time to work on your next book so it can be done soon!

I plan on seeing you in Seattle on October 22nd!

You write some great female characters (especially Lirael), who is strong but also has faults and fights through them. Why do you focus your Old Kingdom novels on female characters, and did anything go to inspiring these characters? They are fantastic role models.
