Booking Through Thursday...One Question

If you could ask your favorite author (alive or dead) one question … who would you ask, and what would the question be?

This is kind of a hard one for me. I don't usually give as much thought to the authors as I do to the books themselves, but a favorite author has almost moved himself to my avoid list...so, I would ask Stuart Woods

Why did you feel it was necessary to become a James Patterson clone and put out 4 books of crap a year?

I used to love Stuart Woods' Stone Barrington series. They were smart, funny and always full of snappy dialogue. Now, they (and his other series too) are full of improbable story lines and shallow characters. Woods hasn't quite moved to my avoid list, but he is pretty darn close.
