5 questions with Ken Paves

We are starting a new program whereby we ask authors who will be appearing at Book Soup to answer a few questions about themselves to introduce them to our readers. Mr. Paves has been kind enough to participate and help us launch what we hope will be a fun and informative questionnaire. Enjoy!
