Has anyone ever had direct contact with any authors - aside from book signings, events etc? I'm sure most best selling authors are far too busy to reply to the numerous emails, letters etc. that they receive, but perhaps some lesser known ones take time out to correspond?
Several years ago, I sent an email via her website to Suzette A. Hill, a British writer of cosy and amusing mysteries, I forget exactly why now, but I think it was a question about the future of her 'Bones' series and letting her know how much my mum had enjoyed her books. She took the time to send a lovely reply, personalised and detailed. She came across as a very nice lady and appreciative of her audience.
