This next guest on my writer series needs no introduction at all. I had the pleasure of meeting Art Slade, a fabulous writer with an endearing personality, at the TD Awards earlier this month, and congratulating him on winning the TD Canadian Children's Literature Award for The Hunchback Assignments, "a rollicking steampunk adventure" which I just finished reading for the second time.
The next one in the series, The Dark Deeps was released in September and though I haven't read it yet...it's next on my list.
A self-proclaimed techno-whiz, Art has a wonderful website filled with delicious tidbits about his books, bio , podcasts and tips for writers. So visit him...and enjoy...
Without further ado...here is Art at his quirkiest!
1) In one word, how would you describe your personality?
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.
2) What is your deepest desire?
To conquer the world.
3) Your greatest fear?
Rhubarb.
4) Your favourite colour?
Green.
5) A song you can't help singing along with, every time you hear it?
Bohemian Rhapsody.
6) A movie that made you cry?
Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. The acting. The storyline. The waste of all that money and talent.
7) A book you have read more than five times? Or a book that influenced you the most?
The Lord of the Rings. Have read it about fourteen times.
8) From your own oeuvre: your favorite child?
Dust.
9) One thing you hate about being a writer?
commas, commas, commas--where do they go. Semi-colons come in a close second.
10) Something no one knows about you (and now will)?
I sometimes listen to ABBA.
Art, thank you so much for participating. You are inspiration to all of us, especially me! Wishing you continued success in your career.
