The 25 Writers Meme
Over on Facebook, there’s a meme going on asking who are 25 writers who influenced you (in this case me). I did it over there, following the instructions. But the list ended up being harder than I imagined because there are levels of influence, and EVERY WRITER I read is – in some way – an influence.
But here we go. Here’s my list:
1. Anne McCaffrey
2. Allan Cole
3. J. Michael Stracynski
4. Stephen J. Cannell
5. Katherine Kurtz
6. Louise May Allcott
7. Ian Flemming
8. Clive Cussler
9. Carole Nelson Douglas
10. Terry Pratchett
11. Neil Gaiman
12. Brian Hopkins
13. Robert Aspirin
14. Jim Butcher
15. Janet Evanovitch
16. Raymond Feist
17. Christopher Moore
18. Dr. Seuss
19. Robert Frost
20. Lois McMaster Bujold
21. Sue Grafton
22. J.D. Robb
23. Selina Rosen
24. Carolyn Keene (in all her incarnations)
25. Robert Ludlum
