Earlier this week I was blog hopping, and on one of the blogs that I frequent and author asked the question, “if you could meet any writer, past or present, and talk to them about their stories, who would you choose? What would you say?”
Well, I picked two… so I cheated a bit. I chose Nora Roberts and Susan Mallery. I would love to talk to Nora about her writing processes, her stories, and life in general. Just hang out and chat it up. And I think meeting Susan Mallery would be a blast. I’d like to see if she’s as witty in real life as she is in her stories (I bet she is). I’d like to sit around and talk about stories, life, and sheiks. She writes the best sheiks evah. Yes, I said sheiks. I love them. I can’t deny it, but that’s another post unto itself.
So, there are my choices… If you had the chance to meet one author, to sit down and talk with them one-on-one about anything and everything, who would you choose?What would you talk about?

I would love to sit down and chat with Catherine Anderson. I so love her writing and the depth of characterization she creates. I don’t know what I’d talk about, but I’d love to just be able to sit down and chat with her.

Marissa,
This is a tough one. I couldn’t narrow it to one, but I’d definitely say three writers I’d love to talk to are Dean Koontz, Stephen King, and J.K. Rowling. I’ve never read the Harry Potter books, but the interviews I’ve seen with J.K. make me believe I’d really enjoy talking with her. Same goes for King and Koontz. As for writers in the past, I’d pick Edgar Allan Poe and the Bronte sisters…and probably Jane Austin.

I love Susan Mallery’s Sheik books. I am not sure which author I would talk to…I have so many to choose from, lol

JK Rowling, Diana Palmer, and Johanna Lindsey. Authors that I’ve enjoyed through out my life but have never met.

Choosing one would simply be impossible.
But to narrow it down as much as I can…
Shakespeare.
Charlotte Bronte.
Shirley Jackson.
Lorraine Hansberry.
Agatha Christie.
Nora Roberts.
What would I say?
Nothing.
Just listen.

Nora Roberts.
I would love to talk to her about her In Death series, written as JD Robb.

I did get to sit down with some amazing authors at RWA.
I’m going to say Sharon Shinn.
