I said yes, and now I'm seeing if society has been sleeping on this book series, the Heroes of Olympus series, and I'm joined today by a very special guest, someone who's been on the podcast many a time, always a delight to have her on, and the the listeners always clamor for joy when they see that name in the guest section almost as much as I clamored for joy when we saw each other recently at San Diego Comic-Con and then you so kindly drove me to the San Diego airport and we sat behind the train for roughly 35 years but I still made my my flight.
