I can't e...First of all, Natalie....WOW, 18?!?! I can't even comprehend what that must be like! My son is about to turn 7 and I'm struggling with that, wondering where all the time went and why was it so fast... I don't know how I'll respond to 18!! I hope she had a great birthday :-)<br /><br />Second, on to Alex's interview and book... I follow Alex on Twitter, and it has always intrigued me that he's a writer and a musician. But then, so many of the authors I adore seem to be insanely talented in other creative endeavors too - lots of artists among them - and I guess if you have the creative mind it can express itself in many ways. I wish I was more like that... I've always been more analytical (if that's the right word) and struggle to do anything "creative." But that's why I love reading so much, because you amazing authors have done the hard work for me and I just get to revel in what you've created!<br /><br />I look forward to reading DRAGON IN THE STARS, and I love how the idea came about. I love my sci-fi and this one sounds great! <br /><br />Thanks, as always, for the great interview!Holly Bryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13281574165037823036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1746050382328975047.post-78457478993908407092015-04-16T20:42:45.749-04:002015-04-16T20:42:45.749-04:00This was a great interview!
