Oh definately Neil Gaiman for me, I've written about him more than once on my blog. I have a very unhealthy relationship with his books, particularly American Gods.

I like the works of Sidney Sheldon and Frederick Forsynth but I would plump for Steve Berry.I like the historical research he put to his works and his non-stop action style.
So,my man is STEVE BERRY.

Having a best novelist is tough. There are several brilliant authors for me and they include

Tom Clancy,
James Clavell
Eric Van Lustbader
Agatha Christie

Eric Van Lustbader

I've heard about this guy. Will rout up this.

I read what i find interesting and at the moment Jonathan Kellerman interests me. I've almost completed collecting his books.

Eric Van Lustbader is a brilliant writer of fantasy and thriller novels. I found his Nicholas Linnear series spell binding to say the least. He also has been writing the new Jason Bourne novels which Robert Ludlum created.

Sounds right up my alley. Will definitely be looking for him now.

Where does one come across their works? After the disappearance of Pacesetters books, finding Nigerian authors has become quite a task.
