Who's Your Favorite Author?

[celisabeth23]

I think if I had to pick a single favorite author, I would pick Robert Louis Stevenson without a doubt, but I also have enjoyed John Steinbeck, Sarah Dessen, Jodi Picoult, and James Patterson. In fact, I enjoy most authors. (:

Stephen King!

Terry Pratchett without a doubt, especially his Discworld books. I keep going back to them like a comfort blanket. He makes me laugh, his insight into human behaviour, the characters and their interplay - Sam Vimes, Nobby Nobbs, Gaspode the talking dog, Nanny Ogg, DEATH, CMOT Dibbler- I just love them all ...

My favorite author is V.C Andrews. I just love her books and the suspence especially in the book Flowers In The Attic.

My favorite author is V.C Andrews. I just love her books and the suspence especially in the book Flowers In The Attic.

V.C. Andrews was an author, among many others, I got to know in high school. I read all of her books up to "Dawn". She introduced me to the depravity of the human soul and the evil that lurks behind closed doors.

Matthew Reilly is an extremely good action/ thriller writer. Most of his novels are fast paced and well planned out.

His books are the reason I got into reading, because they showed me that you can make ordinary things and ordinary people extraordinary. You don't have to invent superpowers or necessarily create new worlds.

Stephen King is my all time favorite author. He has the unique ability to draw the (constant) reader in to an implausible situation and make them believe it possible.

James Patterson, hands down. His novels are always a thrilling page turner from beginning to end.

My favorite authors would have to be: stephen king because his books keep me up all night wanting to know what happens next. Margaret eterson haddix because I never get tired of her books no matter how old I get. Finally tom becker because he writes some interesting books my favorite being darkside.

My very first '''favorite author''' was Julie Campbell.
She wrote several of the teen-detective novels centered around Trixie Belden and the Bobwhites of The Glen.
Subsequent authors took over the series, but its safe to say she got me hooked on mysteries.

From there I '''graduated''' to more MATURE mystery novels.
Eventually I branched out to, and stayed with, adult themes under several genres.....
Such as (in no particular order):
1. Futuristic Romance
2. Historical Romance
3. Paranormal Romance
4. Contemporary Romance
5. Fantasy Romance
and
6. Basically ANY combination of the above mentioned genres.

Because of my eclectic reading tastes, I have several authors that always get my attention, and that means that there are several series I have yet to finish.
This list includes, and is definitely not limited to:
Jude Deveraux
Sherrilyn Kenyon (a/k/a Kinley MacGregor)
Johanna Lindsey
Dara Joy
Judith McNaught
Linda Lael Miller

There are several others that I've '''fallen for''', but these ladies have played a large part of my 'reading life'.

It is so hard for me to choose a favorite Author because I have so darn many!

If I absolutely had to pick one it would probably be David Eddings. I love his writing style and how he makes these fantastic worlds. When I pick up one of his book I usually can't put it down until I finish or pass out with the book on my face.
