To me, Ninja authors are authors whose books I have read and re-read, book-marked with red and yellow stickers at the edges so I can always go back to the scenes I so much enjoyed in the book. I'd say also I enjoy their style of writing, the emotion potrayed in the story, the characters...
On the historical romance front, my Ninja Author is Judith McNaught. I have read almost every book she has written. I fell in love with her work after reading Whitney, My Love.
Under the dark, languorous eyes of Clayton Westmoreland, the Duke of Claymore, Whitney Stone grew from a saucy hoyden into a ravishingly sensual woman. Fresh from her triumphs in Paris society, she returned to England to win the heart of Paul, her childhood love...only to be bargained away by her bankrupt father to the handsome, arrogant Duke. Outraged, she defies her new lord.
But even as his smoldering passion seduces her into a gathering storm of desire, Whitney cannot, will not, relinquish her dream of perfect love.

Cassandra Clare: The Mortal Instruments
Horror, thrillers,
Oh, and Terry Prachett. Just adore his books. I'm reading this one at the moment
Aw...not to forget Francine Rivers.
These are a few of writers I truly enjoy reading their novels.
So I am still looking around for more Ninja Authors. Any recommendations? Who are your Ninja Authors?
i am fascinated that she would have passion with anyone else other than her childhood sweetheart---sounds like something i would love
ReplyDeleteI have never heard anyone refer to an author as a ninja..Very cool. I think for me one is Sherrilyn Kenyon. That is one of a long list.
ReplyDeleteI think it's really awesome that you read in so many genres!
ReplyDeleteUm... sadly, though I know this is meant to be about favourite authors my brain is fixated on the variety and is not co operating in giving me some names to list as my own favourites LOL

Nice list you had there. :-)
ReplyDelete@Lynn - I guess it happens when one is young and only sees the one they fell in love with and no other. Until they know even those one have changed.. :)
ReplyDelete@ Savannah - Yeah Ninja Authors, they are so good at what they do, their stories they are like Ninjas.. :D
@ Rhonda - I think when it comes to books, I'm a 'greedy' reader. Want to read everything at once, as long as it's interesting
@Enaginatte - Thank you. :)
My own ninja authors would be Edgar A. Poe and Stephen King, but I also have enjoyed many other books of different authors that I just don't remember right now. Great selection for you!

I love Cassie Clare and Neil Gaiman.
ReplyDeleteJudith McNaught is by far for me the greatest writer of historical romance, when reading her work you feel like the characters are your friends and you really know them.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to read the immortal instrument i have heard great reviews about it from my cousin.
