I was lucky enough to meet up with him at such an event. I have listen to him speak, not only when reading his books aloud, but in speaking about the way he creates his characters and how he develops his book ideas. His creativity and mastery of mythology turns his books into a special place for the reader to lose themselves in and relax.
