I’m really excited about visiting Taiwan, and especially looking forward to saying hi to those who have enjoyed the books. One thing that I must do when I’m there is to throw my Frisbee, to add it to the list of countries I’ve thrown it. So, for me, what I’m really hoping is to find somebody who is local who’s willing to go to a park or somewhere really iconic to play Frisbee with.

When he’s not writing, he’s trying to add to his list of 26 countries where he’s thrown his Frisbee.
