J K Rowling for sure. And maybe Joanne Harris. And I wouldn't pass on an opportunity to sit down with Hemingway...

Janet Evanovich. I absolutely love everything that she writes. Stephen King would be my second choice. I can't imagine that any conversation with him would ever be boring.

Yes, Hemingway. I'm not a fan - I find his writing tedious, to say the least - but I think it'd be lots of fun to drink with him.

J K Rowling. I've read enough of her interview manuscripts to want to pick her brain about her life and her writing process.

Stephen King - I LOVE his books and would love to have a chance to listen to him speak and to ask where and how he gets all his ideas for his books.

(If you don't drink beer, which author would you most want to go to lunch with?)
Stephen King, the master.
Emily Bronte,' I love Heathcliff!
Ann Rice, just to perhaps get into that mind of hers!
James Rollins, Good writing and very pleasant to look at too.

I'd like to have a beer with Tim Ferriss. He seems like a cool guy with a lot of great ideas and experiences and stories. He seems like he would be a good guy to learn stuff from as well.

I would also like to have a beer or two with Tucker Max. His books are funny and he's good at storytelling. I would love to just crack up and listen to some of his stories as well as learning to be a better storyteller when writing.

If he were alive, absolutely Ernest Hemmingway. He isn't my favorite author of all time, but that expat was one hell of a drinker.

Ellen hopkins or Stephanie meyer. I'd love to hear more about them and what made them want to right such amazing stories.

If I was old enough to have a beer... just a couple more years... I would want to have one with Isaac Asimov. Based off of his books, he seems like a very intelligent but quirky and funny guy.

Definitely Stephen King. I wonder if he likes craft beer...
