For me it was Jeff Kinney. I was meeting a different author I love, but there wasn't enough room downstairs and we had to go up. Turns out that's exactly where Jeff Kinney works! He's the author who got me into reading so I thought that was so cool
Me too! I was walking around the fish market in Seattle and walked right by him. My partner then said "Wasn't that the guy from the car show that you watch?" I doubled back and met him. Just said hello and shook his hand.
