What book are you recommending right now?

I'm enjoying THE LUMINARIES and just finished A MASTER OF DJINN.

If your story beast had a form, what would it be?

The Hydra. I'm scaled, armor forged through the distance stories afford me to study conflicts I might otherwise avoid in reality. My many heads don't know what the others are thinking or doing, but we have a grand time wreaking havoc; and, when one of us is cut, we grow. We keep coming back with even more perspectives and insights than we had before. Also sharp teeth.

If you could meet one story character, who would it be and why?

Han Solo, no Arya Stark, no Dumbledore, no . . .
