I met Bryan at HeroesCon and Hope was sitting right next to him. He kept telling me that I should buy her books instead of his since she was "an award winning artist!" He was super nice and drew me a little sketch. I also got to talk to Hope about the name "Chiggers" and she told me that when she first showed it to her editors they thought it was an ethnic slur. :) I said that they were obviously not from the South. Great reviews of both books! Ok I did not know that bit of Geekiana but it is so funny to me! I met Bryan at HeroesCon and Hope was sitting right next to him.
