Who is one of your favourite authors? and why?

For consistently strong writing that always creates a sense of "place" for me I'll go with John Steinbeck. I'm sure being a Californian has something to do with that.

Heard of the author but never read his books

@TomSelleck2: Along with Hemingway, Twain, Faulkner, Fitzgerald, and maybe Poe and Kerouac, he's considered one of the 'great' American authors. His books are very easy to digest. Might want to give him a try.

Karen Marie Moning - I love her books, pretty interesting.

Michael Slade - He's an ex criminal lawyer, his true crime books are based around here and that's cool to me. 馃槉

Terry Pratchett. He's clever, hilarious, and irreverent in all the best ways.

Only read one of her books ages ago called The Perfect Husband... I think that's what it was called.. It was a fairly good thriller

J K Rowling
Amazing storyteller

I've never read the Harry Potters........

She writes with the alias Robert Galbraith nowadays, and writes adult crime fiction ....
Not sure if she still writes with the J.K Rowling name, maybe just for kids books.

@TomSelleck2: the Galbraith series are very well written, she also wrote another for adults as JK called The Casual Vacancy, many didntvappreciate it but it was a telling piece on British Society.

@InOtterWords: AH yes, the Casual Vacancy was her first adult book wasn't it ? Think that was before she decided to use the Galbraith name for the adult books...

Maybe she preferred to use J.K Rowling for kids books
