Exclusive Author Interview
Back in 1999 I travelled over to the NASFIC convention that took place in Anaheim, California and got the meet Tim Powers for the very first time. During my time with Tim and Serena we recorded a fascinating and lengthy interview, in which I got to ask Tim all the questions I'd ever wanted to ask him!
I've interviewed Tim a number of times since then, but that first interview I always feel was perhaps the best one we've done and it is still my favourite. So, here it is all its glory, complete with accompanying mp3 files and photographs. Enjoy!
