Frequently Asked Questions


Question: Who are your favorite authors and what are your favorite books?

Answer:

Impossible to list all the authors that have written books that matter greatly to me. But let me list a few that were important to me prior to beginning my writing career:

Sci-fi

Fantasy

Children's

Historical

Mystery

Mainstream

Nonfiction

Poetry

All these represent readings prior to my beginning to write seriously, and this list is by no means complete, especially in the nonfiction area, where I was rarely aware of authors and simply absorbed information.

Authors now working whose works I look forward to and buy instantly are:

Again, this is far from exhausting the list.
