My favorite author(s) are, by far, H.P. Lovecraft and Stephen King.

H.P. Lovecraft has a way of creating stories that just draws the audience in and doesn't let go. The descriptions of his characters are amazing as well.

Steven King takes ordinary everyday experiences and writes about them in an entirely different way. Also I really enjoy his writing style.

There is no one author I like the most, but several in different genres.
Patricia Cromwell - Crime
Nora Roberts - Romance
Tom Clancy - International Intrigue
And just about any author for History as I love history.

My favorite author is Ellen Hopkins. Her stories always keep me captivated and I usually cant put her books down. Plus I love that their is always a plot twist.

I don't have just one favorite, i have three....Stephen King, Patricia Cornwell, and Dean Koontz.
S.K. and D.K. have spectacular imaginations. Each of them different in their own ways but sooooo alike also. neither one has written a book i haven't read or loved. As for Patricia Cornwell, her in-depth, detailed, edge of your seat, mysterys really grab the reader's attention and keeps their attention till the the end. And i love the way she tells each characters back storys as the books go along.

My favorite author is Stephen King. However I am very fond of J.R.R. Tolkien because when I was a small child my father would read me his books as bedtime stories. I in turn read them to my children and I am currently reading them to my Grand Children. Mark Twain was another of my all time favorites.

"It was only a smile, nothing more. It didn't make everything all right. It didn't make ANYTHING all right. Only a smile. A tiny thing. A leaf in the woods, shaking in the wake of a startled bird's flight. But I'll take it. With open arms. Because when spring comes, it melts the snow one flake at a time, and maybe I just witnessed the first flake melting." - Khaled Hosseini

"“You have two choices. you can keep running and hiding and blaming the world for your problems, or you can stand up for yourself and decide to be somebody important.”."-Sydney Sheldon

My favourite author is Laura Ingalls WIlder. I enjoy her style of writing and her content because i believe that she has been able to make her stories come alive even today and that young girls of the modern time and age are able to relate to her stories and enjoy them.
Other than Laura, i also enjoy reading C.S. Lewis, whose imagination and ability to encourage readers to imagine and live within the pages of his book must be praised and commended.
Louisa May Alcott, in my opinion, is another writer, much like Laura Ingalls, who has been immensely successful in capturing her thoughts and experiences in a way that women and girls are able to enjoy and relate to it.
