I am a story
addict. I am addicted to reading. It is my love of reading that
helped shape my love of writing. It’s symbiotic in some ways: I
suck all the greatness from my favorite writers, nourishing my
ability to put words on the page.
These are some of the authors that
inspire me, that make me want to try harder in my writing. That make
me better.
1. Roald Dahl
Such imagination! Roald Dahl taught me
to twist and turn the normal into the bizarre. To stretch my
creativity to mold ideas into stories that feel fresh and yet
familiar in all the right ways. Favorite titles: ‘Charlie and the
Chocolate Factory,’ ‘Matilda,’ and ‘Tales of the Unexpected.’
2. Kate Morton
Beautiful, intoxicating words. Kate
Morton’s writing is so amazing – her descriptions, her solid
plots, her gothic sense of place. I devour her books and always want
to run to the computer when I’m done. Favorite titles: ‘The
Forgotten Garden,’ and ‘The Secret Keeper.’
3. Sarah Addison Allen
Sarah does steamy romance and magic
realism so well. Her books are magical and her characters authentic.
I love her stories and want mine to be as absorbing. Favorite titles:
‘The Sugar Queen,’ and ‘Garden Spells.’
4. Sue Monk Kidd
The queen of emotional narratives that
you never forget. I want to write as honest and deep as Sue does. She
captures characters and how they feel in every situation so
perfectly. That is not easy. Favorite titles: ‘The Secret Life of
Bees’ and ‘The Invention of Wings.’
