J.R.R. Tolkien

This is the author that started it all for me. Since he was chosen Author of the Century about 25 years later, I must have been on the right track!

From reading The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings I went on to develop an interest in science fiction, which I now am writing as well.

Other excellent stories by Tolkien include Leaf by Niggle and Smith of Wooton Major.

My favorite biography about the author is by Daniel Grotta, titled J.R.R. Tolkien: Architect of Middle Earth. There is also a great deal of imaginative art inspired by Tolkien's works.

Some of the science fiction authors I enjoy are

Elizabeth A. Lynn, C.J. Cherryh,

Arthur C. Clarke, Ben Bova, William Gibson and Samuel R. Delaney.

I especially enjoy Anne McCaffrey, who wrote the Pern series and a lot more!
