How I wish I could get in touch with these authors ! My two very favorite authors are ;
1.William H. Coles
2.Dan E. Hendrickson
The way they give their narration , you'd think the incidents prescribed in their writing are just happening right before your eyes !..Their books contain so much humor I can't help but smile , laugh and even try mimicking them . Their narration flows quite well. A lot and a lot I love about their work.

I have two favorite authors. J.K. Rowling is my all-time favorite because Harry Potter is the series that got me into reading when I was younger. Rowling and her books will always have a special place in my heart.

My current favorite author is Dean Koontz. His stories are always extremely gripping and I find myself unable to put them down when I read them. I haven't found one yet I didn't enjoy.

I have to say Woolf and Proust. That being said, I'm stuck in the midst of Remembrance of Things Past. I haven't been able to continue with Guermante's Way due to its antisemitism. How to get beyond it and keep reading I don't know.

I have two favorite authors. My favorites are James Patterson and Stephen King. Misery by Stephen King was amazingly astonishing! James Patterson's novel Swimsuit kept me on the edge of my seat. I have read their novels over and over again.

My current favorite author is Neil White. His book The Sanctuary of the Outcasts was informational and very intriguing. I never knew anything about Lepers.

Hard to say, Tolstoy, Borges, Marques shaped my youth, later Patricia Cornwell, Lynda la Planted, women of all shaped and forms. And many others.

I've always found it difficult to pick only one author, so I usually go with the author of my favorite book, C. S. Lewis. I don't know if he's technically my favorite, but he has a number of good books. J. R. R. Tolkien is also up there. There's nothing like some good old classic fantasy.

My Favorite Author would be Kristy Lee.
She has writen a few books, one being the Suicide Whisper collection. Kristy Lee is very indeapth with her writing and it is very easy to stay following along to the book, unlike other books, that some get lost or bored with!!

Nora Roberts is my all time favorite author. She always captivates the readers with each new tale. It’s never repetitive or dull. I haven’t read a book of her’s that I wasn’t able to put back down once I started reading it. My hats off to amazing and talented woman!

Gosh! I have read so many books since I could remember but Charlotte Bronte is one of my all-time favorite authors. I watch the movie versions when I am tabbed out on all the other hallmark stuff. They are timeless tales of love. To name others stemming from my early childhood would be Stephen R Donaldson, Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, and Piers Anthony.

Through John Grisham, I discovered a lot about law, how the judicial system works in America. I discovered that its actually the jury that decides a suspect's fate and not the judge (the judge merely declares the jury's verdict). I also found out that law isn't about being good or bad, innocent or guilty but rather based on facts that can be proven without doubt and a bunch load of other things.

Khaleed Housenni, an Afghanistan novelist portrays the wars and sufferings of Afghanistans especially their women. This kind of reminds me of the Biafran war in Nigeria, depicted by China Achebe and Chimamanda Adichie.

Rick Roirdan, Egyptian myths and Greek myths.

Marian Keyes and her sarcasm, humors and women literature.

These among many others are authors that excite me.
