What inspires you?
Robert: I think that inspiration comes from the experiences of my everyday life. I’ll read about something or someone and say “wouldn’t that make a wonderful book?” I’m also inspired by other authors and artists like Matthew Reinhart.

Matthew: Everything around me —whether the gargoyles on buildings, food packaging in the grocery store or even good music.
How much do you love your job?
Robert: I am thankful every day to have such a wonderful, fun, challenging job. I couldn’t imagine doing anything else!
Matthew: Very much—wouldn’t trade it for anything."
