Oh dear, this changes so often, but I'll give it a shot.

In no particular order...
Flannery O'Connor: Because she's incredible, and writes amazing short stories and essays.
J.R.R. Tolkien: Does this even need an explanation?
G.K. Chesterton: His wit and flair is something I am incredibly envious of.

I can but I'm not sure I really want to... There are so many great authors out there today... This is really hard to break down to just three... I guess my very top three would be Richard Paul Evans, Susan Wiggs, and Gena Showalter. :doh: but I have so many!
