Top Ten Favorite Fantasy Authors
1) Maria V. Snyder - This woman knows how to create and establish a fantasy world, and whenever she publishes a new title, I must have it.
2) Tamora Pierce - I will never get tired of singing her praises, especially when she was ahead of the YA curve long before it was called "young adult."
3) Robert Aspirin - His MYTH series was one of the series that kept me sane while attending college.
4) Rae Carson - This is one of my more recent finds, but she showed a truly visual world and an amazing heroine. I cannot wait to see where she goes from The Fire and Thorns trilogy.
5) Peter S. Beagle - Another author that I will never tire of talking about, especially since I have multiple copies and versions of his most well-known story, The Last Unicorn.
6) Patricia C. Wrede - If you need hilarious fantasy, this is the woman whose books you need to read.
7) J.R.R. Tolkien - Need I say more?
8) Diana Wynne Jones - A talent that readers are sorely missing.
9) Christie Golden - While most might not have heard of her, those who follow certain fantasy game-based novels will recognize her name. Her version of the backstory of a well-known MMORPG character made her one of my favorite authors.
10) Hayao Miyazaki - Yes, I know he's a director and artist, but he's also a writer! And if you've seen any number of his films, you can't say you wouldn't do the same. ^_^
