I would LOVE to meet L. A Meyer, author of the Jacky Faber series! It would be so so hard to ask him only 1 question! The question I would want to know the most would be:
What was your inspiration for the Jacky Faber series- did Jacky just pop into your head, or did she develop as a character over time until you knew you wanted to write about her??
