Who are some of YOUR favorite authors and why?

I have several favorite authors but I will start with this
one... Janice Grove. She has written some
paranormal/supernatural books in the Zeppelin Series that are
just fun reads all the way around. One of the things I really
like best about them, aside from simply enjoying the stories is
that they are good for all ages. The first book in her series
"The Rain Song" is one of the very few books my own husband has
ever read through all the way, it's the ONLY book I've ever
personally known him to read and our whole family can enjoy it
as well. I can read her stories and be drawn in, my husband can
read them and actually read the entire book, and my 10 year old
son can read them...because they aren't full of bad language and
gore even though they are paranormal/supernatural stories. They
truly are good reads based on relateable characters and a strong
story that anyone from 9-90 can enjoy, that's what I like best!
Here's a link to her website if you would like to know a bit
more about this author.... www.janicegrove.com

This is hard question to answer because I have so many! One of
my favorite fantasy authors is Anne Bishop. She has a simplistic
writing style that makes her novels easy to reader and her plots
are extraordinary. Her plots are like an onion, layers and
layers of awesome material (and some do make you want to cry).
Two others are Jacqueline Carey and Juliet Marillier. Carey's
plots can get a bit complicated and her writing is dialougue
heavy, but her books drag you into this deep, mystical world you
never want to leave. Marllier writes fantasy historial ficition
(a complicated genre). She has a depth to her writing and this
pervasive bleek tone, but everything comes together in the end.
Peter David is another favorite. He is very satirical and
tongue-in-cheek. His books never fail to pull a laugh from me.
Dawn Cook is good too. I equate her with Anne Bishop in her
writing style. Cook's plots are more straightforward, but always
a fun read. I do have to throw in Charolette Bronte. She wrote
my favorite book of all time Jane Eyre. Talk about a blend of
mystery, romance, and hints of the paranormal.

I too have several favorite authors...and I'm right there with
you about Emily Bronte, she was so ahead of her time! One of my
modern favorite authors is Kresley Cole. She writes paranormal
romance so naturally you have super alpha males in them. Some
people don't like stories with these super macho/protective guys
in them but I do. What I like best about Kresley's stuff
however is the humor she writes with. Her characters have such
personality and I love it when I find myself actually laughing
out loud at something one of them says, or thinking "that's
exactly what I would have said!" For me, that's pure
entertainment! (racy sex scenes notwithstanding...but hey, even
those can be educational ;D) Aside from her more adult books
she's also been writing a series for young adults which is just
as entertaining.
