The following is from a monthly Q&A that Shur’tugal holds. You can view it on Shur’tugal.

Mike Macauley: Hello Christopher! Thanks for taking the time to answer our questions! For those who don’t know, we’ll be doing this once a month toward the end of the month for the foreseeable future (or until we run out of questions!). We received over 200 total entries with the amount of questions coming in at close to 1000!

SS— Hey cool, a monthly source of things to comment on.

Christopher Paolini: Wow! That’s a lot of questions.

SS— This is no different than how you started your last interview. You are a published author now, you don’t have to be amazed by your popularity anymore.

The Twilight phenomenon is one that has passed me by, as my requirement for books is the same as movies: a minimum of 2 explosions, 3 weapon fights, and 1 hottie (decapitation may be substituted for any of the previous).
