One of the great things about Twitter is that you can meet some really cool people. Take Hobbit Steve, for example. We hooked up on Twitter last year and have been corresponding all this time. We finally got to “meet” during a Google Hangout interview yesterday about my new novel Sons of Zeus.
Steve is the news director for the website Legendarium. He’s also a skilled Muay Thai fighter and, at 6’3″ joins my “Tallest Hobbits in the World” club. Steve and I talk about ancient Greek warfare and a little bit of Tolkien in this video interview. Check it out here.
Hopefully, someday, Steve and I will meet in person. I will gladly challenge him to a beer tasting contest. But I will not step in the ring with this gentle giant, no matter how much he loves Hobbits. I like having teeth!
