What aspects of the authors’ previous works captivated your enjoyment? Personally, my three chosen authors are Nicholas Sparks, as we all crave romance in our lives; Rick Riordan, whose books rekindle the youthful enthusiasm within me; and lastly, Fredrik Backman, whom I consider the finest realistic fiction author.
I think you have to go for breadth of catalogue as nearly as important as quality here since the timeline is so long. I’ll take Stephen King, Phillip K Dick and China Mieville.
