I met James Rigney (Robert Jordan) and his wife at the Huka Lodge in New Zealand in 1999. He was a wonderful gentleman, though he thought I was Tom Doherty's (Founder of TOR Books) daughter. My last name sounds the same, but is spelled quite differently. I told Tom about this in Tokyo at the Hugo awards and we had a picture taken of Clan D (Tom, Vince Docherty, and me).
If you liked the Wheel of Time, do you like George R. R. Martin's Song of Fire and Ice?
Hang around science fiction conventions as long as I have and you are bound to meet most SF writers. Yes, George is great, but he needs to write more and watch football less (this year is depressing for him.)

First of all, color me jealous.
But I have gotten to meet George Martin at a book signing at the National Book Festival 2 years ago. Love Fire and Ice.
