Now - On to the Interview!
DNW: Where and when did you acquire your love of books? What books have been important to you, and why?
CHRIS: That’s a tricky one. Books have always been around for me and part of my life. Some of my earliest memories are of my mother taking me to the library with her when I was just barely out of my toddling years. I remember in the second grade, I read every book in the class that our teacher had provided for at-home-reading. I took every one home, read it and reported on it. I won a prize for it…something like a Snickers bar or something like that. I pretty much just continued on that same path.

Gotta love Insidious. I am waiting on my lettered 1200AM Live, and hold VERY high hopes for the production standards of this one. Chris and D’Ann are wonderful to deal with, both lovely human beings.
