It must've been exciting meeting your favorite author! 
It was. I'm a writer myself and gave him a copy of my book.
Are you also a fan of the tv show that was inspired by his writings?
I was a fan of the first six seasons, and then it went in the toilet.
There were 8 seasons, is that correct?
Technically six full seasons of 10 episodes. Then the last two had 7 and 6 episodes respectively.
That is a lot of seasons and episodes. I know there were many devoted fans.
It set a lot of ratings records for HBO.
What type of genre do you write?
I write fantasy as well. I have both serious and humorous series.
