As I pause between writing drafts of the new Eloise and Smith stories and beginning some new pieces, I’m reading more.

I thought I would share, in no particular order, my favourite writers.

Hilary Mantel
Stephen King
Claire Keegan
Cormac McCarthy
Lionel Shriver
Walter Tevis
Margaret Atwood
Richard Yates
Connie Willis
John Wyndham
James Ellroy
George Eliot
Clive Barker
Jane Austen

Favourite means people who leave me in awe of their command of words but also story telling and imagination.
