Questions You Always Wanted To Ask . . . Take Two

Here's the rest of yesterday's post, which asked the question, "You can ask your favorite author any one question: what would you ask?"

And here's the last response that was posted in regards to that question . . .

Who is YOUR favorite author, why, and what would you like to ask him/her?

Sweet pickled pineapples, Batman! How can anyone answer that? A single, favorite author? Gah! Can't be done. Well, maybe by genre. Yeah. That's how I'll get out of this one.

Genre: Young Adult

Author: Jill Williamson

Why? Characters that stick with you.

Genre: Speculative/Horror
Author: Travis Thrasher

Why? Takes the ordinary and reshapes it to extraordinary.

Genre: Speculative/Time Travel

Author: Lisa Mangum

Why? Beautiful, beautiful rhythm of prose.

Genre: Sci Fi

Author: Ray Bradbury

Why? Plot twists like nobody's business.

Genre: Mystery/Thriller

Author: Tim Downs

Why? Snarky dialogue times ten.

Genre: Historical

Author: Jessica Dotta

Why? Haunting tales with detail so real that you feel like you're there.

Genre: Dystopian

Author: Veronica Roth

Why? Palpable tension between the characters.

Genre: American Lit

Author: John Steinbeck

Why? Turns of phrases that make me want to weep.

I don't have any favorite westerns because, umm, honestly the only western I've ever read is Shane. Yeah, I know there are a gazillion other genres I could've listed, but I see you yawning. 

Now then, wake up and share some of your faves in the comment section.
