Top 10 Authors You Would Like to Spend a Day With

CS Lewis

Not just a brilliant novelist, but an original thinker.  Screwtape Letters was great, and there is really nothing else like it.  I’d love to know what made this guy tick.

JRR Tolkien

Good friends in real life with CS Lewis, and Smeagol.  OMG.  What an amazing character.  One just can’t say enough about this guy.  I hope he liked coffee.  It would break my heart if he only drank tea.

Piers Anthony

The Xanth novels were a big part of my childhood fascination with fantasy worlds, and Anthony gets much of the credit for my love of the YA fantasy genre.

Douglas Adams

Cuz you never know when you’re going to need a towel and any author who has the chutzpah to start out a book with the destruction of the earth would be quite interesting.

William Goldman

Princess Bride was the best book I’ve ever read.  Hands down.  And Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid was great.  Goldman would be fascinating to hang with.

Roger Zelazny

The Amber novels broke so many molds.  Original plots, fascinating characters, and the ability to give the reader a sense that anything is possible.  Wow.  Sadly, I haven’t read anything other than Amber books from Zelazny.  Maybe I should.

Steven King

Great novelist.  Cujo.  Salem’s Lot.  The Stand.  Wow.

Brandon Sanderson

Sanderson is a master of originality in the fantasy genre, with amazing characters and above all, fascinating magic systems.  A true inspiration.

Orson Scott Card

Not only is Ender’s Game a classic for the big plot twist, but I enjoyed Card’s Alvin Maker series as well.  Fresh, different, and with a great protagonist.

Moses

Who wouldn’t want to hang with the first published author on the planet?  Leviticus was a bit dull for me, and if it stood on its own, I’d surely DNF.  But what a life this man led! Although he apparently wasn’t a big talker, I’m sure he’d have some entertaining things to say about leadership after wandering around in the desert for so long.

 

Looking for Dei

David A. Willson
Publication date: March 23rd 2018
Genres: Fantasy, Young Adult

Fifteen-year-old Nara Dall has never liked secrets. Yet it seems that her life has been filled with them, from the ugly scar on her back to the strange powers she possesses. Her mysterious father refuses to say anything about her origins, and soon, she and her best friend must attend the announcement ceremony, in which youths are tested for a magical gift.

A gifted youth has not been announced in the poor village of Dimmitt for decades. When Nara uncovers the reason, she uses her own powers to make things right. The decision sets her on a path of danger, discovery, and a search for the divine. In the process, she learns the truth about herself and uncovers the biggest secret of all: the power of broken people.
