Meeting Writers

[Peg Herring]

Which living writers would you most like to sit down for an hour with and why?

I'll start.

Margaret Atwood - She's just so brilliant.

Ariana Franklin - We'd have lots to discuss.

Sara Paretsky - What she's done in this business!

It isn't by design that they're all women. I'm sure there are lots of male writers

who would provide a fascinating interview as well. And my list might change

tomorrow.

I almost included Lee Child, but it was mostly because we only met briefly once and I'd like the chance to talk further. He does seem like a cool guy to hang with. I'm sure he'd be on my husband's list, too!

Declan Hughes - to discuss PI fiction. No one is more passionate about it.

Peter Rozovsky - to discuss international crime fiction. No one knows more about it.

Lee Child - because from everything I've heard he'd be a lot of fun to hang with, and will probably buy the drinks.
