Personally I have not red anything from this author that seems to be important for you, but I often participate in meetings with authors I am interested in. The important thing is , that you have red the book and everything will go well, you will probably not be the only person in this particular visit. You can always listen first what other people are asking. This kind of meeting is normally very friendly and a pleasure, so enjoy it.

Have you read "How I Live Now"? It is absolutely amazing. If she's supposed to be talking about that book, you should ask questions related to the plot. Here are just a few I thought of off the top of my head, but I'm sure if you think back to the book, you can come up with more:
Maybe ask just how thin/sick Daisy was from her anorexia - had it gotten completely out of control or was it just starting and exacerbated by her step-mother freaking out?
Just what all did Aunt Penn do to try to get back to the children?
How reliable of a narrator is Daisy? Does she really tell everything the way it is happening, or is she exaggerating or even leaving things out?
What will happen with Daisy and Edmond? Will she be able to help him recover from what he saw?
How does she respond to criticism about the grammer and punctuation in the book? (Personally, I think it was very true-to-life, but some people don't like that)
I hope this helped. You're very lucky to get to meet with her!

Ask about her planning process: did she have to alter her original plans? did her characters evolve in any way which she did not expect?
Did she have any personal feelings towards the characters? Did they change in any way?
Ask her about the process of getting her first book published.
Ask if she started writing the beginning of the novel first, or if she began elsewhere.
don't ask of her inspirations!

I'm not familiar with this author, but if you've read this book, isn't there something in it that you'd like to comment on, either to agree or disagree? Is there anything in the blurb on the author herself that you'd like to ask about?

How does she fight writer's block?
How much pre-planning does she do? IE notes on characters and plot or just sit and write.
When and where does she write?
How many rejections?
How long did this book take?
What kind of software for her computer or is it pencil and paper?
How much editing was done by the publisher?
How many differences did you have with the publisher? Any requests of theirs denied?

Wow you are lucky! You can ask if there were any events in her life that have inspired her to write this extraordinary work of literature.
