I think Del Toro would be a phenomenal director for your stories if you had the choice!

Hi, Garth! I can’t even begin to explain how excited and happy I am for you to be doing an AMA. There are a million things I wish I could have a discussion with you about, but I’ll try to keep it to a minimum  First off, I just want to thank you for being such an incredible author and bringing so much joy to your fans. I am a huge fan of Shade’s Children, The Key’s to the Kingdom, and of course The Old Kingdom series. I love how intelligent your writing is; not only are you entertaining, but you manage to incorporate important morals and lessons. It just blows my mind, because I feel like you don’t see that enough in high fantasy. That being said, I do have a few questions. I’d be honored if you chose one to answer :)

1. I’ve read that you worked in publishing before you became an author. Do you think there are any pros or cons to that in regards to knowing what is expected of an author? Was working in publishing rewarding/fun/a good choice for you?

2. I absolutely adore Sabriel, Touchstone, and Mogget. How do you manage to create such well-rounded characters? Any techniques or tricks?

3. Do you have any favorite authors or books you’d suggest to your fans? Doesn’t have to be fantasy or fiction.

Thanks again for reading and taking your time out to answer some of our questions here on reddit. I’m a huge fan of yours, I can’t wait to make it to one of your book signings. I can’t really express how much of an impression you’ve made on me as an author, I can’t say thank you enough.

Thank you so much! :)
