Off the top of my head....
Marion Zimmer Bradley
Terry Goodkind
Ian Irvine
Maggie Furey
And this is where my brain leaks out my ears and I can't remember 95% of the books I own..

Neil Gaiman has been one of my favorites for a while. His peer Charles de Lint is another favorite of mine. I've also really loved Orson Scott Card's fiction, but his nonficition can only be described as pompous and arrogant. I'm very loyal to Michael A. Stackpole and Terry Brooks. Greg Keyes has recently become another favorite of mine.
Classically, I can't get enough of Hemmingway's writing style. The man was perfect.

My favourite writer is Kim Newman who also writes as Jack Yeovil. Really liked a lot of old Raymond E Feist and big fan of the Wild Cards books.

I enjoyed the Kingdom for Sale books, probably because it was a set amount of books. His others seem to go on and on and on.... Could just be me though. i've got some of the Sara Douglass books as well. |

I'm also a big fan of Sherlock Holmes stories - not just the originals but the Laurie R King stories.
And Greg Rucka whose novels are fantastic. His DC comics less so these days.

Actually, he's probably going to continue the Landover novels. The Shannara books are fairly ongoing. His Word/Void trilogy is set in modern day and is limited, and those are the best novels he's done. What he's doing now, though, is essentially linking the Word/Void books to Shannara with some new books that look very promising indeed. |

DAMNIT! I liked them in that number of books. Course, I'm on the 9th Terry Goodkind book at the moment and he shows no sign of stopping either... Thank god I gave up on Robert Jordan... |

Yeah, but each of the Word/Void books are standalone stories, and they're great reads. I'm a contemporary fantasy addict, and those are some of my favorites.

So basically we'll be adding another bookcase to the house.
8 so far and counting.

Greg Rucka is a great writer. His "Batman: No Man's Land" is one of my all-time favorite novels.
It's beyond me how we haven't had that book made into a movie yet.

The Sword of Shannara...no offence but a bigger pile of tosh I have yet to read. Favourite authors - based on a body of work rather than a single favourite novel:- Iain M Banks Gene Wolfe Dan Simmons George RR Martin There are loads more but I would most want to write like these guys. Intelligent, thought provoking and still a damned good read. |
