favorite authors

i have had a tendency my entire life to latch onto authors. as a kid i was at the mall every month buying Ann M. Martin's newest Babysitters Club book. as i got older i fell for anything written by Francine Rivers or Max Lucado. And, of course, there was my affair with the books of Sabrina Ward Harrison (refer back here.) currently i'm more likely to skip around. i've read a few books by J.K. Rowling. and i've enjoyed what i read, but not enough to finish the Harry Potter series. the same holds true for Stephanie Meyer's writing; i've enjoyed it but haven't picked up book 3, yet.

i am, however, fairly incapable of NOT reading anything Michael Rigg has written. he's this local author who's creative as all get out, and i love his work. he's been posting first-draft novels as blognovels for the past couple of years - and i love it. there's something about knowing a new chapter is being published tomorrow that makes me need to read the current chapter today. there's an urgency to it that isn't there when i can pick up the entire book at once, knowing it will still all be there tomorrow. he currently has two blognovels available: august winter and an angel for sara dawn. check them out. get hooked. but read quickly; i hear there's a new one on the horizon.
