Orson Scott Card

What seems like aeons ago I stated that I was going to be writing a fair bit about Ender's game the book, the graphic novel (comic for the fearless) and the criminally delayed movie.

Well I've been very fortunate in that Mr. Card has kindly agreed to answer some questions of mine about Ender, Ultimate Iron Man and many other things hopefully. Definitely NOT what his favourite colour is though.



I know he's one of the best authors around, when it comes to answering fan questions, but as I'm asking both as a fan AND as a contributor to the Sci-Fi channel website I still feel pretty privileged. He's one of my favourite authors, writer of what I consider to be one of the best books around, as well as numerous other quality works. If anyone has a serious question feel free to let me know, although I may be pushing my luck a little with the number of questions I already have.

Thanks for reading and if you haven't yet read Ender's game.... go, buy it, read it, read it again.

This is NOT a joke, seriously........

This is so bizarre, especially the Red Shirt one.............

No, I don't want it for Christmas

Featured author on Sci-fi channel website. Is Pulitzer to follow?!

Strangely enough you have to scroll to the bottom to see me, but I have the honour of being the current Featured Author on The Sci-Fi channel's website.


Surely a column in The Times and a Pulitzer prize are just months away!




OK maybe not, but it's still cool, in a geeky kind of way.
