He was so kind to answer two of my questions. The first about collaborating with his wife. "No, because we want to stay married." The second about the bet that started the Codex Alera series. It's such a great story, and he really went into detail about it. He could have just gave a simple answer. But instead he made sure that everyone there knew the story behind it.
I was sitting in the second row of seats on the same side of the room as you were sitting on. I really enjoyed his answer to your question about the bet that started the Alera series. I had not heard about that before and was very amused by it. Pokemon and a Lost Legion... naw, that will never work. oops
I was hoping that he would give the whole story, because I figured that there were quite a few people that weren't familiar with the story.
