Looking for new to me authors [View all]

I read a lot. My recent reading list include Greg Iles, Preston & Childs, Harry Potter, Percy Jackson.

Have read most of James Patterson, David Baldacci, Michael Connely, Ken Follett.

I see authors at the bookstore that have lots of stuff out that I know nothing about.

Tell me why I should read your favorite author.
