Interview with R.J. Anderson

My interview with R.J. Anderson is up over at The Enchanted Inkpot. Here's a teaser:

GM: Okay, Fan Girl moment. I love the concept of the faeries of the Oak being allowed to choose their own common name. One that jumped out at me was Campion, the librarian, because I have a major literary crush on Margery Allingham's Albert Campion. Intentional?

RJ: Absolutely intentional! And not only is it a tribute to Allingham, it's a tribute to Richard Adams (Watership Down) who also wrote a minor character named Campion. It seemed fitting to give the Oak's librarian a plant name that carried a strong connection to books… even if those other characters are male and my Campion is assuredly not.

GM: Okay, that's completely awesome. (*crosses fingers that someone picks up an Albert Campion book because of this interview*)
