Authors

Some of the authors & books that have changed my life:

Jodi Piccoult - My Sister's Keeper is my favorite by her & one of the reasons I went to law school.  But everything she writes is moving, intelligent, and thought-provoking.

Stephen King's On Writing - Half memoir & half tutorial, a must for anyone who loves his books or is interested in the craft of writing.

Philipa Gregory - A historian turned novelist, Ms. Gregory is best known for her Tudor series.  If you're reading her novels, be sure to bookmark her website which provides additional historical info & the necessary family trees.

Nicholas Sparks has the ability to perfectly capture the joys and heartbreaks that accompany love or relationships.  His website also has some advice for young writers and some great recommendations for reading.

From the woman who brought us Sex & the City, Candace Bushnell has a new book out.  If you love the adventures of Carrie & company, check out the adventures of Janie Wilcox and other Upper East side elite.

Who doesn't love Sookie Stackhouse?  The amazing world of Bon Temps was created by Charlaine Harris. In addition to Sookie, she has several other series with unique and intriguing women protagonists.  My favorite is the Harper Connelly series.
