You know Maxwell Eaton III, right? No, you're thinking of Maxwell Eaton II. Maxwell Eaton III is the guy who wrote and illustrated the mega-awesome Max and Pinky books.
Over four months, he interviewed me via postcards. I was zig-zagging the country promoting Lunch Lady and working on the next installments throughout. Take a look at the fun results over at Max's blog:

My hometown paper published a great write up today on all things Lunch Lady. They even tracked down my old grade school lunch lady, Jeanne, to get a quote! She is the lunch lady who I had the chance encounter with back in 2001, which spun me into thinking about the secret lives of lunch ladies. Turns out there will be a reunion tomorrow night—Jeanne plans on attending my reading and signing at the Worcester Public Library.
