Festive Fun: My Fantasy Christmas Dinner Party by Lainy Swanson
Tonight I'm handing the reins of the blog over to fellow blogger Llainy from So Many Books, So Little Time to host her Fantasy Christmas Dinner Party, so who would she invite?
Stephen King for sure, apparently he never goes to cons, much book events or anything like that. King is the reason I love reading/horror, I started reading when I was about 8, IT was my first book. I think he has an amazing mind and made so many creations, I have many questions about some of his endings and I just think he would make for great chat.
A fictional character or characters, John Coffey from The Green Mile (Stephen King) the guy does miracles and ends up on death row, he is a great character but we know practically nothing of his back story. He had such a crap roll of the life dice, I would like to hug him, show him a little kindness considering all the good things he done despite having so much bad/evil flung his way.
Kimberley Chambers, crime/gangland author. I met her once and she is always so nice, chatting to readers/authors online. Her stories are hillarious, the antics with Vinnie the cat and her pals wee dogs she dog sits every so long. You could listen to her stories all day.

Festive Fun: My Fantasy Christmas Dinner Party by Chris McDonald
Today I'm handing the reins over to fellow blogger Chris McDonald from Mac Reviews Books to share with us his top 5 picks for authors to invite to his fantasy Christmas Dinner Party.
Here are my five authors I'd like to invite to my party.
Stephen King I’ve only recently read my first Stephen King book but I’ve got more lined up! I’d love to meet him because, having listened to his autobiographical book - On Writing, he seems like a cool guy. Also, if anyone is going to give you tips for writing a good book, it’s this guy!
Chuck Palahniuk
This guys writing made me feel like a big man when I was a teenager. I felt suave and holier than thou as I walked around with a copy of Choke tucked under my arm. His writing was a bridge from what I had been reading to what I should be reading!
Will Carver
Will is on here because he is a fucking genius and I’d love to spend some time with him. I saw him at the Orenda roadshow and he was very engaging and passionate. I’d love to pick his brains on his craft, as I have loved Good Samaritans and Nothing Important Happened Today. He also seems like a laugh!
