Every so often, Christopher gets an invitation for an event that he would dearly like to attend but is unable to due to scheduling conflicts. The Blount County Public Library, in Tennessee, recently asked if he would be a guest of honor at their 2016 Mini-Con. While he couldn’t be there in person, he did record an interview answering the library patrons’ questions. It’s a long video, so I’ve included links to take you to the questions you’re most interested in. Enjoy!
