J.K. Rowling, who is fantastic and I think it will be a crime if we never get to see another book from her. Not necessarily a Harry Potter book, anything in general. She so successfully created a whole new world with the details so in place that it feels like it exists. I love her style as well.

I'm also a fan of Thisbe Nissen, who doesn't have many books, but wrote my absolute favorite, The Good People of New York.

We have something in common - my favourite author of all time is Stephen King (currently about three quarters thru Under the Dome). I've read every single one (including his works as Bachman) except Cujo and The Shining and his brand new one. The Shining is my next read after Under the Dome.

Also love J K Rowling who is currently hinting about writing possibly three more Potters!

My other favs are Bill Bryson, Wilbur Smith, James Patterson, and the old classics such as Charles Dickens and the Brontes.
