Met him at one GenCon UK where he was set-up on the ground floor of the Kensington Olympia for the whole thing (this was back when GenCon was still held at the Olympia, so a fair few years ago now) promoting his newest book, Hollow Chocolate Bunnies of the Apocalypse. I can't remember much about it as it was awhile ago but I do remember that he was very approachable and happy to chat and signed a copy of his book for my sister-in-law's birthday. She's a fan so it seemed like a great present idea... then she went and changed her name before her birthday! Bitch! ;)

But yeah, that was cool. Don't think I've met any other authors, I'm too lazy to go to signings.
Bitter, twisted and better than you.
