I consider myself lucky enough to call David my friend also, and I agree with you that Disney should be listening. :) I even made a comment to him about it a few days ago. I was lucky enough to read one of the draft versions myself. <br /><br />I'm on my way now to check out your interview with him. You've found a new follower. Have a great night!

I've been disappointed with the quality of fantasy novels lately myself, and I see you have been plagued by the same peeve that haunts me: the over-use of EPIC. Gads!<br /><br />Thanks for the review and recommendation Mike. It is definitely on my TBR list now.dolorahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08715849844092553699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2495499100279472520.post-91591404858267183562015-01-06T06:44:40.977-07:002015-01-06T06:44:40.977-07:00Happy New Year!

I'm so glad that Jensen and King then landed a major publisher like Scholastic.<br /><br />I'm looking forward to reading Woven.
