Maryann Miller's Picks

Author: John Steinbeck

So we could talk about characterization and the fragility of human relationships.

Author: Dennis Lehane

Because he is a master of intricate plots and I would love to learn how to do that.

Author: Albert Payson Terhune

His books about the dogs of Sunnybrook Farms captivated me when I was a child, and I would like to tell him "thank you."

Naiomi Pitre's Picks

Author: CJ Domino

What a precious friend this author has turned out to be! How many people can you say have been to ALL of your local book signings? Ms. Domino is faithful and loyal, and she is a priceless friend. I would invite her to ANY table.

Author: Kerry E Wagner

I need a little spice and pizzazz when I am dining. I love to laugh and cut up, and I am sure that Kerry would be right there to deliver. Me, Kerry, and CJ?! What a blast!

Author: E Lynn Harris

This author is one of my role models in the writing industry. He is so talented, and yet stays so down-to-earth. He will answer all of his fan email, and he never acts like he is too good to speak to the "little people." I would love to pick his brain about the business.

Michael Dutton's Picks

Author: Virginia Woolf

I would so love to discuss with Ms. Woolf my "petite madeleine" experience of Mrs. Dalloway.

Author: Julio Cortazar

I would listen: his words rising in the evening like the elegant fragrance of chokeberry blossoms.

Author: Jeanette Winterson

Although I might be overwhelmed by her brilliance, I'll take the chance.

C. J. Domino's Picks

Author: Naiomi Pitre

Naiomi is a very good writer friend and one of my mentors. Because of our busy schedules we rarely have time to talk over the phone and mainly communicate via e-mail. The few times that we have dined together were fabulous. So this would be a treat for the both of us and allow us the opportunity to catch up in person.

Author: Jasmine Guy

Most people know her as a talented actress, but after reading Evolution of a Revolutionary I was speechless at her creative abilities as a writer. I would ask her why she decided to write a biography on Afeni Shakur and how did the process affect their friendship.

Author: Karen Q. Miller

Karen is a giant in the literary world and still takes the time out to share with us newbies. I tell her she is my guardian angel. I would continue to pick her brain about the publishing world while she pushed my creative buttons.

Lonnie Cruse's Picks

Author: Shirley Jackson

Why: I adore her writing, so scary and there is always a surprise at the end of the books.

Author: Julia Spencer-Fleming

To find out how she plans to write her way out of the corner she put her characters in at the end of her last book.

Author: Anne Perry

I actually met Anne Perry and chatted with her recently at Love Is Murder in Chicago, but I'd love to chat more about her various series, how she researches each, etc.

Geri Dosalua's Picks

Author: Frances Hodgson Burnett

A Little Princess has always been a favorite book. I would like to know where she got her inspiration for Sara Crewe.

Author: Paula Danziger

Her books get to the heart of how young girls are feeling. I would like to know how she kept that magic going.

Author: Tomie DePaola

He also is very young at heart and his books like The Clown of God are so touching and convey deep feelings. Plus his artwork is simple yet complex. How does he continually do it?
