FIrst choice: JK Rowling - how do you manage to create such a complex story with so many strands of plot, yet make every one of those dozens of characters so distinct that readers never get lost? Second choice:Mertz/Michaels/Peters. I think I've read most of her (many, many, many) books and am blown away by her succinct humor and ability to capture a setting in time/place.Ginanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33226151.post-54804856134370442582011-04-26T09:16:27.321-04:002011-04-26T09:16:27.321-04:00Congratulations.

Barbara Mertz AKA Barbara Michaels AKA Elizabeth Peters. Hands down. She's possibly my favorite author in the whole world. And she doesn't do public appearances anymore - she's 85 - but a personal audience? Oh, wow!<br /><br />A close second would probably be JK Rowling. We'd have some fun, I think!Jennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01442754671445893599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33226151.post-88217891207590402662011-04-26T08:05:40.575-04:002011-04-26T08:05:40.575-04:00Pat,

Mark Twain. I want to spend my hour floating down the Mississippi from Hannibal to the locks at the Alton Dam. We could talk books, the river, and progress.<br /><br />Where do I send my check?C.L.

That sounds like a must-have anthology.<br /><br />About the author, I *wish* I could say Anne George, who wrote the wonderful and hilarious Southern Sisters mystery series. She was also the Poet Laureate of Alabama and wrote a beautiful literary Southern novel. I'd love to ask her about balance and crossing lines of genre.Ramonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00627775403015684868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33226151.post-21778613266608778962011-04-26T07:40:01.360-04:002011-04-26T07:40:01.360-04:00Thanks!
