Have you met any authors?

I havent had the pleasure of meeting one or go to book signing,would love to meet someone like anne rice or stephen king.

I wonder have any of you meet any, who is it?

If you wish to meet the authors, who will be ??

oh, hold on. this seems kind of stupid, but i forget her name. she has a son in my class, and i've talked to her before. i think she's kinda famous, cuz i've seen her books at various book stores, such as barnes and noble. i'll check with my friends. they'll remember the name. anita shreve? forget spelling.

i met Fydor DOstoevsky in my dream once. this is what happened...

i was playin ice hockey when all of a sudden he starts callin me out. i come out of the rink im like sup man i like ur books. then he takes out a shotgun and starts shooting randomly. i jump, take out my skates (in slow motion) then he starts shooting when all of a sudden he gets back up from his teammates (Alexandre Dumas, Victor Hugo, Agatha Christie etc etc) i was outnumbered by these classical authors. But then Hannibal Lecter came...i thought he would help me but NO he attacked me. (i made this all up lol) sorry im bored. 🙂

when i was little, i met a couple of authors for children's books but i can't remember who. who i'd like to meet, tolkien when he was alive; s.e. hinton...hm...

I think I would have liked to have meet edward gorey when he was alive also. 🙁

I met Tommy DePaula when I was in third grade! 😄 I have a picture of me with him somewhere....

Sharon M. Draper, author of Tears of a Tiger

Mrs.MM went to a Terry Pratchett book signing last Xmas, she said he was very nice.

Well, maybe you all will get to meet me one day, I'm a published author, but don't get too excited yet, my book isn't out, and it will probably be awhile before it actually is out, but i still trying to get the buzz out about it, and its really cool that there is a book discussion!

I wish I'd meet JKR and Anne Rice. 😮

I love terry pratchett! was that the book signing in Forbidden Planet off Oxford Street in London?

I wanted to go to the Michael Moore thing in Cambridge, but by the time I'd heard about it they ere sold out... *sulks*

I met Robert Rankin once. He was doin a book signing in a bookshop near where i live, but I didnt know who he was at the time. I wasn't watching where I was goin and walked into him, and he glared at me. A few days later I bought the book he was signing (Hollow Chocolate Bunnies of the Apocolypse - dead funny, buy it!) and found out who he was.

shelly herdlitshka....................oh and once i met Jarkko Ruutu of the Vancouver Canucks 😉 😄 😛 😖hifty:

The author I most want to meet is Margaret Weis, co-author of The DragonLance Saga and the foster mother of Raistlin
