Today is Pay Someone a Compliment Day, so I decided to write a post about some of my favourite authors.

But first, I would like all my subscribers to know that I greatly appreciate your reading of my blog. And those of you who comment are super folk. I love interacting with you all.

Here are 20 authors. Actually, my favourite author is often the one I’ve just finished and enjoyed reading, but these are all to be recommended.

There are a couple I feel I should add, but hey-ho! I’ve limited myself to 20.

Now to the list of authors. This is not in any order, so if you find your name there, near the top or bottom, it doesn’t mean you are my favourite or least favourite.

Mary Deal         Suspense/Thrillers; Romance

David Kummer       Horror, although my favourite to date is not horror.

Sean Robbins        Scifi

Debbie Manber Kupfer    Young Adult, Fantasy, Paranormal.

D Wallace Peach       Fantasy

Randall Krzak        Thriller and Crime

Kent Wayne         Dystopian scifi

Brian L Porter.        Mystery and tales of his rescue dogs.

Cynthia Morgan        Dystopian fantasy and Young Adult

Robert Scanlon        Space Opera

Nicholas C Rossis       Science Fiction and Speculative Fiction

Robert Jordan         Fantasy

Frank Herbert         Scifi

Brandon Sanderson      Fantasy

Emily Bronte         Not sure where this one goes. It’s not romance in the conventional way.

C.J. Sansom          Historical

J.K.Rowling          Fantasy

Anne Bronte          Not quite sure where I’d place her work.

Georgette Heyer        Historical

Terry Pratchett         Comic fantasy.

There are others I’d love to add, but my limit is 20. Maybe I’ll do another post sometime and add these others.

Have you read any of these authors? Do you agree with my list. or are there those on it you would not have on yours? I’m sure there are.
