My Favorite Authors

I have a few favorite authors, but I don't like them per-se, I know this sounds strange, what I mean is that I admire their work the most. Those authors include R.L. Stine, Neil Gaiman, J.K. Rowling and Charlotte Bronte.

I don't know if Guillermo del Toro should be considered an author, but I loved The Strain Trilogy. As for the romance authors, I like Nora Roberts, Danielle Steel, E.L. James, Stephanie Meyer and Nicholas Sparks and I'm under the impression that I'll like more authors along the way.
