Even though I already have a copy somewhere in hard back, I found a signed copy of "The Peculiar" at Half Price Books this weekend. I love paperbacks and that you had signed it was perfect. Do you prefer to read paperback books or hard backed books? Or, do you find you listen to audio books more?

Hi Sarah! Thanks for picking up the paperback! :) So, I love the *idea* of hardcovers. I like how publishers sometimes make them total works of arts, with dust jackets and end-papers and bookmark ribbons and gloss and embossed-ness. I probably buy many more paperbacks, though, because I do most of my reading on the train and squashing lovely hardcovers into my bag seconds before jumping off at my stop BREAKS MAH HEART.
So what usually happens is: I buy a book in paperback. If I love it I'll buy the hardcover afterwards for my shelf and then gift the paperback to someone who I think might love it as well.
I don't really listen to audio books. I'm not sure why. I just prefer paper books.

Hello! I know you speak as only one of four "Curators" of the Cabinet of Curiosities, but can you say if there are any plans (or at least dreams!) to publish a second collection? There have been so many new and wonderful stories on the Cabinet web site and I would love to see them presented in glorious book format once again :)

Hello! Your biography states that you're a music student. What instruments do you play? Do you compose songs or are you planning to do so sometime in the future? I'm a musician as well and was impressed that a brilliant writer like you is also a musician! You inspired me.
