Rob White is my favorite author, favorite personality. He is my inspiration. I can't wait to meet him. I am in Ghana, west africa and that seem to be impossible. But I will still keep my hopes.

man oh man. All the authors I want to buy a beer for are deceased. My two favorites are far apart in the genre department. First one, Roger Zelazny. I'd love to buy him a beer! Next is Don Pendleton. His beer has been well earned!

There are many other authors I truly cherish, but these two are worthy of their beers because I was young when I picked up their books and found a different world to escape through. Good stuff all around.

Dan Brown and Sidney Sheldon, I would love to understand how their brains work since each and everytime I read their books, am left wondering how did they even come to that point.

Oh what a good question! There are so many amazing authors but I would probably get a drink with Sherrilyn Kenyon and see if I can get any secrets from her series out of her!!

Steven Pressfield. I'm a huge history buff, and his writings bring past eras to life.

Stephen King, I would just love to know what makes the wheels in his head turn. That man is a brilliant author, how he manages to conjure fear into words. I would love to get to have a casual conversation with him. See what he's like.

I'd like to talk to Dante Alighieri about his book Inferno over some monk beer. I'd ask him if it was solely his idea to have so many Greek myth characters or if others in the Catholic church had encouraged that. Plenty of other questions as well, like what people thought of his use of Virgil as guide, or what people he thought of including but didn't for one reason or another.

Sidney Sheldon. I would love to know how he got his ideas and how he created such complex characters with ease.

Randy Wayne White. As a Floridian and mystery fan, I think there is a lot we could chat about.

That's a really tough choice. I'd have to say either Poe or Tolkien. I'm a huge fan of Poe, but Tolkien's world building is unmatched in my opinion.
