[deana73]

That seems like an easy question but is not for me. I have favorite authors depending on the genre of books. My favorite paranormal author is Laurann Dohner and J.R Ward. My favorite contemporary romance is Madeline Sheehan, and my favorite historical author is Kathleen E. Woodiwiss

My favorites authors are Chris Bowen and Scott Hughes they are role model and perfect motivators.

[Brandi Noelle]

No one has mentioned my favorite author yet... Ernest Hemingway. He is awesome, such simple looking sentences but also a classic iceberg theme... so much of what he says is under the surface. For lighter reading, my favorite is Nick Sparks.

I love Hemingway! "A Farewell to Arms" is in my top five of favorite books. He had a great perspective on the art of being a writer, though I don't think he was truly aware of his own mastery. It's unfortunate that his brilliance often gets overshadowed by talk of his personal demons.

John Grisham currently holds my heart.

I really love Kristen Britain. Unfortunately, she writes a book about every 4 years. It's hard being a fan.

I have a lot of favorite authors, but my most favorite of all is probably Susanna Kearsley. She writes really wonderful historical fiction. I also enjoy Simon St James' creepy ghost fiction, as well as Amanda Stevens.

Fantasy: Robert Jordan- The Wheel of Time series is amazing, epic, my all time favorite of the genre!
Theology: N.T. Wright- He writes stuff that is deeply scholarly and that you need a map to slog through, yet he can also write stuff easily accessible to the least educated.
Science Fiction Old School: Isaac Asimov- There is just something about his writing that drew me in as a young girl, and he even wrote science fiction geared for YA or Children!
Science Fiction New School: Dennis E. Taylor "We Are Legion (We Are Bob)". This is a new author that I just happened upon and I absolutely love his Bobiverse that he has created. It blends old school ideas in a new school format and the result just works for me. So clever.
Mystery: Soooooo many to choose from, Nitty-gritty Patricia Cornwell, Cozy Cleo Coyle, Donna Andrews, Diane Mott Davidson, JA Jance, Tony Hillerman...too many!
Guilty Pleasure: Molly Harper, her paranormal/horror/humor series about what if suddenly Vampires, Werewolves, Zombies and every type of creature came "out of the closet" is wonderfully wicked (language, steamy sex scenes, snarky sense of humor)
