I would love to have a contest with him. Bet I would win. I am sorta the master air guitarer around these parts. AND he got stonkingly drunk. That has got to be one of the coolest made up words ever. Jay really seems like a cool, down to earth dude, and I like that about a person. I can't wait to read Stormdancer. It sound stonkingly brilliant!

Of course, it's easy with an author like Jay who can spice up even the most boring of questions!<br /><br />One of my coworkers doesn't know who Jane Austen or Charlotte Bronte are, and hasn't heard of any of their books. I just about cried.<br /><br />P.S. Not sure of his stance on baked goods. There are bourbon desserts right?
