I had to do it. Gar Anthony Haywood made me. 15 writers that influenced me and will always stick with me. Please keep in mind that I have an absolutely terrible memory for lists of any kind, especially favorites, so this one is pretty arbitrary, and Im probably forgetting the most influential (my books are still in storage). Its a combination of authors I loved as a kid and/or authors who influenced me as a writer. Agatha Christie Lydia Davis Doris Lessing Raymond Chandler C.S. Lewis Andre Norton Roderick MacFarquar Ernest Hemingway Helen Foster Snow Michael Chabon Sue Grafton Madeline L Engle Ray Bradbury Alexandre Dumas Mary Stewart Helen MacInnes ADDING Thomas Pynchon per that, I know Im probably forgetting someone hugely influential bit above. Only for one book, The Crying of Lot 49, but that book had a big influence on me. Pick 15 authors without thinking too much about it, in 15 minutes if you can. Tag a bunch of folks, including me, so I can see what you read. And now for the tagging. This will also be random. I apologize in advance. But Gar made me. (I wont hate you if you dont do it!) Terry Shames, Susan C Shea, Jeri Westerson Matt Coyle, Richard Burger, Tim Hallinan, Dana Fredsti, David Fitzgerald, Jeffrey Siger, Bryn Greenwood, Gayle Carline Nathan Bransford, Naomi Hirahara Catherine McKenzie, Henry Chang, Holly West.
