Well I do not drink much anymore. I would like to have a drink with Lori Foster and see how she got her ideas for all her amazing books. My grandmas favorite author Mary Higgins Clark and pick her mind about how she first got started writing her first book.

I would have drunk a beer with the Beagder. He writes good books about relationships. You can look at the website urlovelinesscom the review of the best books about relationships, maybe something useful.

This sounds like a great idea! He is one of the few celebrities I follow on social media.

Honestly, me too! I feel like he'd be incredibly interesting. Although, in Cuba would be pretty cool too.

Arthur Conan Doyle because well, Sherlock Holmes!

Sue Grafton because then I could ask how the series ends

Also Douglas Adams because then I could pester him with the many questions I have about his books

I would love to know more about Arthur Conan Doyle by sitting down and having a beer with him. If Sherlock was any example of how his own mind worked, imagine the way a conversation would go! I'd also like to have a sit down with Mark Lawrence. His online persona I see through social media is great, and I would hope in person he would be the same way.

I have never heard of Mark Lawrence before, but after a quick google search I must say thank you for giving me some new books to read! I would definitely ask good ole Arthur about his ability to pick particular personality quirks from his acquaintances and build such a unique detective. Have you ever read Murders in the Rue Morgue? One day I would like to do a study of fictional detectives!

I have not read Murders in the Rue Morgue. I have read Poe's poetry but not his stories. I will add it to my list! Thank you!

This is a hard question, because I'm easily scared of people I really admire. I think Sarah J. Maas would be nice to meet. According to interviews I've listened, she is a sweet person. I would have a lot to ask from her and I think we would have good laughs. Neil Gaiman is my second opinion, just purely because I admire his work so much. I could find it hard to talk though, because as I said, social anxiety thingy. I would have so many questions and not only about his work but also of his worldview. I think there are so many interesting and often troublesome layers of life touched in his books, for example the prison system, in american gods. I'm also a huge mythology nerd and think we would have a lot to talk about.

The author of The Godfather, Mario Puzo would have been my first choice but his dead so maybe JK Rowling or Rick Riordan they seem cool.

Well, on a Friday afternoon I kinda feel that it is great to share a beer with James Patterson. I suppose he will write a good mystery book after about it.

YES! I love watching interviews with Neil Gaiman and he seems so... Herr Drosselmeyer-like, if that makes sense. He's the friendly mysterious uncle with a glint in his eye who can give you a sneak peek into faerie, whilst making sure you'll get back home- safe, but not unchanged. But talking to him would be daunting. I just want to be near him I guess :P

my second option would be Patrick Rothfuss. He seems interesting, witty and funny, and at least he has anxiety as well (I might have gotten that wrong) so it'd balance out :D
