I have several authors that I enjoy, but Monica McCarty is my favorite. For an historical romance novelist, she goes deep within and bring real historical characters to life and more than that, she uses real facts to develop her story. I'm in love with her Highland Guard series and one of the "things" that makes this one of my favorites is the way Monica builds the fictional with the reality.

I agree with most of the above!ell_en wrote:Kate Atkinson, Life After Life and the Jackson Brodie series
Anything by Pat Barker
Tracy Chevalier - only Girl with a Pearl Earring, nothing else
Anything by Ian McEwan
Michael Lewis
Jhumpa Lahiri, the short stories
Hilary Mantel
Kazuo Ishiguro
Haruki Murakami
Oh, and HILARY MANTEL will be releasing a new book in September 2014. But it will not be the third and final volume of her amazing and award-winning Tudor saga based on the life of Thomas Cromwell. Instead Mantel will be offering readers a collection of contemporary short stories entitled "'The Assassination of Margaret Thatcher".
Interesting title, don't you think! Short stories are set to sizzle this year and Mantel will lead the way.

I particularly enjoy the figure of speech when an inanimate object reflects the feeling of the user. For example, Bertie Wooster often refers to smoking 'a nonchalant cigarette'. Magic!
