For Fridays, I usually ask a question or play a game. Today's question is: What author - living or dead - would you want to sit down and have breakfast with.
It's a hard question. If I only had to pick one, I'd go with Joe Abercrombie. He inspired me to write in the style I was most comfortable, the dark and gritty way that I love. His characters are real, flawed, gray, and generally very awesome.
How about you?
I have to agree, this is a tough decision. Only one, I'd say Brian Lumley. I love the way he manages to fuse magic and the impossible with the normal and mundane. Not to mention he has a dark and twisted take on the vampire that I love. He also uses a lot of science and mythology. He ties his vampires into out world very nicely through history and myths. I would love to sit and learn at his feet.
