I read a ton. So, this is pretty impossible to answer. Here are some of my favorite adult novelists (in alpha order): Margaret Atwood, Timothy Findley, Nick Hornsby, Margaret Laurence, Elmore Leonard, Elinor Lipman, Alice Monro, Carol Shields, Anita Shreve, Sherry S. Tepper, Miriam Toews, Anne Tyler
關於我: I'm a middle grade/Young Adult writer. I SO DON'T DO MYSTERIES, my first humorous middle grade mystery (and the first in the series), sold to Random House. Estimated publication date is Dec. 2008. I'm still wandering around in a daze, pinching myself.
Sherry (short for Sherlock) is your typical thirteen year old. She wants more mall time, less homework and a certain eighth-grade boy. Instead, she's recruited by her mother's ghost to prevent a rhino heist at San Diego's Wild Animal Park.

Sorry the link doesn't work. Something about my background not working with the myspace software. All very fuzzy for me.
A few random facts:
#1 I'm very good at multi-tasking. For example, I rarely leave the house without making sure a machine is running. Like, say, the washing machine. Which means the laundry is getting done while I'm out shopping while chatting on my cell.
#2 I only make measurable and attainable New Year's resolutions. Here are two I've been successful with: I will floss daily. I will drive through the car wash every other week.
#3 I would like to work the night-shift at a 24-hour gas station. It wouldn't be very busy so I'd get lots of reading and writing done while getting paid. I just realized this ties into #1!
#4 Given the opportunity, I will eat black or red licorice until I'm sick.
