This is an author who you’ll automatically buy their newest release, no questions asked, and read it as soon as you get home.

For me, it’s Stephen King! I’ve rarely been disappointed by a King novel (although, ironically, one of his latest releases Fairy Tale that I preordered actually was a miss for me. Still doesn’t deter my love for him!)

I think it’s awesome that there are writers in this world we would spend money for at the drop of a hat, it’s a type of trust we have with the author to basically guarantee enjoyment from their latest work.

So who’s your automatic author?

    I don’t think I have an auto buy author. I was going to say Mira Grant but that’s a bit of a cop out since that’s the pen name of Seanan McGuire who I like some of the stuff she writes under her real name but not all of it. Patricia Briggs is another option but again a bit of a cop out since for the last long while she’s really only written books in the Mercyverse and I’m not 100% sure she a guarantee for me since I don’t love her old fantasy books she wrote before she started the Mercy series and subsequently the Alpha and Omega series.

    There’s plenty of series that I pre-order the next book in but even an author like Jeff VanderMeer who I adore I’ll still read the early reviews that come out before I decide to buy their next book.
