Most of the authors I've met, as both an author and a bookseller, have been quite positive. We've probably had well over 1500 authors appear at our store, some national bestsellers, and the jerks have been less than 1%. They've been memorable, though.

The ones I surround myself with are positive. I don't hang around the jerks, LOL. I like to be around the positive kind people because that's the vibes I want.<br />
<br />
But jerks, nah. If they are a jerk it only takes one time to know that and so I never deal with them again.<br />
<br />
Oh yeah to answer the question, most of all the authors I know are wonderful people. But like I said, I stay away from the ones who aren't. There's always a few bad apples in every bunch.<br />
<br />
Best Wishes!…

<b>Never met any painters.</b><br />
<br />
You just did! :)<br />
It's usually the young ones who like to party, though. Got to keep up appearances. Dress in black and talk incessantly about what art should be instead of actually doing it.<br />
All part of the artist myth, isn't it? :) More stuff to outgrow. Like being self-centered and arrogant.<br />
<br />
Anyway at our age it's difficult to stay up late enough to get a really good party going! (Comes in part from getting up so early).

Actually there are stories circulating about fans following female authors into the ladies' and waiting outside their stall.

I have been to couple of Bouchercons and have never had less than a pleasant experience from any authors I have spoken to, including one I happened onto in the men's room, who I recognized standing a couple of urinals over. We agreed not to shake hands until we had both carefully observed each other washing up.
