I have met a couple authors in the past, including Gish Jen and Audrey Niffenegger, but today I went to a talk way up north in Redmond to hear Kim Harrison speak. She is one of my favorite authors, though I have never read a Kim Harrison book - instead I read those written under her psuedonym Dawn Cook. They are 'high fantasy' whereas the books she currently write are 'paranormal fantasy', which I don't read a lot.
It was very exciting to meet her, and I've posted the pictures on Facebook. But in case you don't go on there, here are the pictures that Scott took of us:
