Hah! Um. Depends on where we draw genre lines. If we're talking urban fantasy--honestly, I've read practically no urban fantasy in the past decade, because it's been too much like work.
That said, I'm really enjoying DB Cole's Thieftaker books, which are urban fantasy set during the US Revolutionary War, and I recently read and just about died of squee over Beth Cato's upcoming CLOCKWORK DAGGER, which is steampunk not urban fantasy, properly, but ai, I loved it.
In broader fantasy, I just finished Rachel Aaron's Spirit series, which was absolutely terrific epic fantasy, Meg Cabot's take on Persephone, the Abandon trilogy, I've recently re-read Kim Stanley Robinson's brilliant Science in the Capital trilogy... I'm trying to get a bit of everything in these days!

As a comic enthusiast, what was your first comic book and your favorite character. Just a side note: as your son seems to have an imagination to match yours, maybe you should invest in a tape recorder, so he can start taping his ideas as to characters. That would be so cool to replay a few years down the road and also maybe a future book idea for him or you.

I know you have said that the Negotiator trilogy was really stressful to write, but even so- do you think that you will be returning to that series any time soon? And also (is fitting two questions into one the Goodreads form of wishing for more wishes...?) were you inspired by the Gargoyles cartoons for that trilogy or was it more of an after-the-fact association on your part?
