Ian King asked Adam David Collings:

Which authors, over your lifetime have influenced the style of writing that you do?

Adam David Collings Frank Peretti was certainly one of the early ones. I read his Cooper Kids adventure series growing up, and then moved on to some of his adult books. I love how he writes fast-paced climaxes. Great use of rapid POV changes, sometimes single-sentence scenes.

Ted Dekker has also influenced me a lot.

I should probably credit the variety of authors who wrote the Star Trek tie-in novels in the 90s. People like Peter David, Michael Jan Friedman.

In recent times I've drawn a lot of inspiration (and enjoyment) from Brandon Sanderson's writing.
