Diana Wynn Jones one of my favourites was the merlin conspiricy :D

My favorite writer is Mark Twain whose portrayal of cultural dialects is amazing.

Altera wrote:Tamora Pierce- She writes well developed characters. I loved the "Protector of the Small" Quartet and I can't wait for "Mastiff" to be released.

Timothy Zahn- His Star Wars Extended Universe novels 'Survivor's Quest' and 'Outbound Flight' were a great read. And the Dragonback series was a fantastic read and the final chapter in the first five books provided a bit of a twist to the events, making you think what side some of the other characters were on.

Michael A. Stackpole and Aaron Allston- More Star Wars writers. But the X-Wing series was addictive. "Starfighters of Adumar" would be my favourite, on account of some crossdressing. /grins

Tamora Pierce and Timothy Zahn? :D I love you

Methinks I'm in good company these days... the Star Wars novels ARE great. Ever read the Heir to the Empire trilogy? That was the part that got me into both Timothy Zahn and the Star Wars expanded universe...

I've read the comic version. I keep meaning to read the proper novels but Borders don't have them in stock and the public library copies are always taken. The New Jedi Order and the X-Wing Rogue Squadron Comics were what got me into the EU.
