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?
Donna Tartt has yet to disappoint. Of course she only has 3 books, so who knows… most of my favorite authors have put out books that are a miss for me. Artists change over time and most eventually go in a direction that doesn’t suit my exact tastes. What can you do!
