    OK, guys, when I got the email notification for this podcast, I got SO excited! I wanted to be able to REALLY listen, so had to wait ‘til I was doing artwork in order to listen---and that is TODAY! I thought I was already as psyched for this book as I could be, but your conversation has made me physically ACHE for this book!!!

    Aaron, I absolutely loved hearing about the depth of your plotting and character arcs that went into your series. And I kept listening to the two of you talk about the trailer and couldn’t take it anymore. I had to pause the podcast so I could watch it! How fantastic! Blown away here. Not that I’m surprised, mind you! lol And I have to say how happy I am for you in that you can relax and be comfortable in your profession now, minus the gamble. All of us who are still aspiring hope and pray for that day, and you’ve realized it and SO justifiably and deserved! :D :D :D

    Thank you both for such an over-the-top enjoyable time here! And just so you know, Matthew---I get choked up when witnessing this level of creativity and talent, too, so you’re not alone :)
