Diana Gabaldon because her characters come to life, her writing is well researched and her books are thoroughly enjoyable.

Vince Flynn/ Kyle Mills because I love the Mitch Rapp series. We need more Mitch Rapps in this world.

J.K. Rowling for her imagination.

My favorite author begins and ends with John Steinbeck. His writing really intrigues me and the characters, oh the characters. East of Eden has to be my favorite of all his writings.

There are so many excellent authors, it’s difficult to keep it to a few but I’ll try. For poetry, Pablo Neruda. I love Horacio Quiroga and Juan José Arreola for their short stories. All three I have read in Spanish. Sandra Cisneros made a big impression on me. I was able to go to a reading of House on Mango Street when I was in high school.

Ayn Rand, Stephen King, and J.K. Rawlings, S.E. Hinton and I can’t forget Mo Willems and Dav Pilkey.

I could never pick just one favorite author. I tend to gravitate towards fiction, fantasy, and science-fiction, but that's still a very wide range of authors. The first author that really effected me personally was Stephen King. Being a newbie to King, I obviously read IT first. I sped through the novel and went straight to his collection of four novellas. My favorite book by him is 11/22/63 which combines my love for history, time travel, and the thrills of King's writing. The ending is totally King with it's immediate drop from the falling action; it leaves with that "are you kidding me?" vibe.

The truth is that i started reading for real just 4 years ago. So i haven't read many books by the same author really. My favorite authors at this point are Stephen King, Ian Rankin, Jo Nesbo, Diana Gabaldon and Jorge Bucai.

Who is my favorite author?

There are so many fantastically amazing authors out there. Naming just one is so difficult. I think Steven King is an amazing author hands down on so many levels.
Yet in total I have read just about every book that Beverly Lewis has put out. Such a massive contrast can not be helped. Especially when mood can determine for many what book they chose to read.
I also love no matter my mood a great author by the name of Rhonda Dennis. She has an amazing series that once you start it you just can't stop. So for picking one author, I dought many readers can pick just one.

Latest Review: Sigfried’s Smelly Socks! by Len Foley

Wow, I have so many authors that I want to hug because they literally immersed me in their worlds.
I will mention just a small portion here and now:

- Carloz Ruiz Zafon - his quadrilogy 'The Cemetery of Forgotten Books' is a groundbreaking achievement in the fiction writing.Period.
- Irwin Shaw - his book 'Young Lions' gave me goosebumps.
- Chris Carter - the Robert Hunter series are so thrilling that I remember my colleagues at work asking me if I am OK when I arrive at work in the mornings after an exhaustive Robert Hunter marathon.
- Jo Nesbo - he is the master of the complicated plots that don't contain any holes. What an inventive mind!
- James Rollins - he is one of the modern masters of the adventure genre, even though often the narrative is too naive. But still, sooo absorbing.
- Agatha Christie - well, everybody loves Hercule Poirot, right? :)
- Dan Simmons - 'Terror' terrorizes the mind in an unforgettable way and the sci-fi genre wouldn't be the same without 'Hyperion' .

I can continue until the end of the world, but I got a writer's cramp, so I gotta stop. Sorry :)

James Patterson is on my 'to read list'. I read only good stuff about his thriller-suspense creations. Patricia Cornwell is one of my favorite authors too. :techie-reference:
