But Koontz writes contemporary novels too, right?
@super_etocoon: Eddings is great fun, easier to read and plain satiric in his pen! Redemption of Althalus is perhaps the funniest book I've ever read!
Too bad his wife died some time ago though, they wrote a lot together.

My personal favourite is Raymond E. Feist. I laugh at some of the "fresh" authors in the genre, like Christopher Paolini. He should have a category on his own; "Thesaurus-riddled Plagiarism"

Did you hear about how he burned down his garage and his office that contained many of the original manuscripts? The picture of him in his bath robe explaining to firefighters what happened is priceless.

How did I miss that?! Damn, have a link to the story?

I'm trying to get published myself, I have ideas and notes for 7-8 series now... Have been working on one for a few years, building the world and society, flora and fauna etc. A lot of work indeed. Book one will be finished sometime next year, I really hope the publisher approves!

I write novels in my native tongue, but I love english and I use it for every short story I write, even in the same universe as the stories in norwegian.

There's the link....and the photo.

 

 Truly priceless! And the grin on the firemans face really says it all... Eddings is a strange character.
