My favorite author and why

My favorite author is Robert Liparulo. Here's a few reasons why.

1) He's super cool
2) He's kind and courteous
3) He is such a great thrill writer
4) He lives in the same state as me
5) He actually emails instead of having an automatic response
6) He came to our school
7) He said he wanted to read some of my stories
8) He knows my friend Caleb
9) He's smarter than most writers
10) His writing is genius
11) I just really want to meet him (I'd pay my life savings to meet him)
12) He's a father. Balancing all that while being an awesome writer and taking care of kids is probably a lot of work
Goals:

-Meet him
-Talk to him
-get him to email me
- be one of the first few hundreds to get Timescape (DHK #4)

maybe i'm exaggerating a bit.... or am i? yes, i am
