Oh god... its name dropping time... I used to run a writer's group in Coalville a while back, and during my sojourn there I met Willy Russell (Educating Rita, Blood Brothers) and Terry Pratchett (twice) who told me I have a rare collectors item... a copy of "Mort" which he hasn't signed !!! Met Philip Pulman a long while back... before "His Dark Materials..." and took part in a phone in programme on the radio with Timothy Good, the UFO author... and got a letter from Chris Carter (X-Files) about how he liked one of my X-Files short stories...

I've met myself, somehow. And Shadowskill. We are authors. It counts, because we will publish our book.

I met this lady who wrote a book called "Damned Women" whose daughter is in my sister's class. The woman was a real b!tch. yes

And my aunt is a writer but I dunno if she's gotten anything published

And oh yeah my grandpa was the CEO of Harrah's club in Reno and he wrote a book called "Playing the Cards That Are Dealt" which is basically just an autobiography but it's really interesting you should check it out yes

Every Year Mcgill hosts the "Young Authors Conference" and All sorts of authors come ine. I went twice, meet 6 authors, I can only remeber 3 ONe of them was MArie somehting, or Something Marie she wrote this childrens book about a kid who has his birthday on the same day as christmas, and all he got one year was an orange... Then there was the author of "Invisible Day" and the other one wrote a book I think the title was something along the lines of "Midnight Ghost" I was about 2 girls who go back in time, one of them is jumped into her grandmothers boy, another is just this erant "ghost" because she does not have a body... and also the captain of a tanker they where on was jumped into the great grand father... To get back to there time they have to break a crystal necklace with loons inside it, because they can not change the past, it was only broken ounce, not twice...

I am giving 5$ to anyone who reads all that....

I met Clive Barker at a book signing once. He was a really nice guy and reminded me of Neil Tennant from The Pet Shop Boys. It was hard to believe that so much horror could come from such a decent bloke.
