Q&A with Michael Robert Evans

The straight bio stuff has already been posted. Now let's REALLY get to know Michael Robert Evans!

Q: You spent nine months in the Arctic. What was the scariest moment you had up there? Polar bear attack? Falling through the ice?

A: Actually, it was Halloween. I was writing a book and not paying attention to my surroundings. I got all caught up in it, and I lost track of everything around me.

People in the Arctic don't knock on doors, so one time I looked up from my book straight into the horrific face of some little kid with a gruesome mask on. I screamed and jumped four feet in the air. I'm sure he's still talking about it.
