Stephen King is always the first to come to mind. I think he'd be great to hang out with for a while, and have a beer or 2! Then probably Jimmy Carter. I know he was the President, but he's written some very good books, including THE BLOOD OF ABRAHAM. And maybe Harper Lee. I've had the good fortune to meet most of my favorite authors at book signings or at Bouchercon!

Donna
Stephen King - Because I've began reading him when CARRIE came out in paperback and no one knew who he was. My cousin did meet him and said he is very down to earth.
Nora Ephron - Just finished I FEEL BAD ABOUT MY NECK and Nora is as good as ever.
John Norman - Wrote a bizarre sci fi series back in the 70s that I'm sure was a feminism backlash. I'd like to get his take on that and ask why he thinks the books are both collectible and controversial today.
My #1 would have been Mildred Wirts, original Nancy Drew author and journalist, but she unfortunately died several years ago.
