Hi Tahir, I loved your book Scorpion Soup. Reading it was like being lost in a maze of twisty little passages, only they all didn't look the same. I hope to read Eye Spy next.

Here's my question. Let's say you pissed off a Jinn. Big-time. He ragingly roils above you in choking sufuric clouds and thunders down, "You remind me of a certain extremely obnoxious bunny, so I'm going to turn you into a... GOON!" A few moments later he relents a little and says, "Well, OK, a GOON is pretty bad. But I still intend to punish you. I'll let you choose who or what you are going to be next. You can be anyone or anything except you." Who or what would you choose to be?

This is a great answer: on a journey with a magic adventure-creating ring. :-) But if you come up with another answer on second thought, please let us know on your facebook or blog. :-)

I like being me so I would try to trick the Jinn. I would say, "anyone or anything besides me, eh? Hmm... that means I can be You if I but say the word. But oh dear, then where would you be? Care to reconsider?" He'd probably find a way to wiggle out of that one, but it'd be worth a try. (shrug)
