Cindy Tomamichel:
Who are your favourite authors, and which of them has been the biggest influence on your writing?
Cindy Tomamichel
Tough question to answer briefly!
My favourite authors that influence my writing would be RE Howard, ER Burroughs, Henry Rider Haggard and Matthew Reilly for their use of pace and creation of iconic characters. I wish I could write more like Ray Bradbury, Peter O'Donnell, Terry Pratchett and Andy McDermott for their way with words.
Other favourite authors are an eclectic mix of Tom Sharpe, Mary Stewart, Stephen Donaldson, Kerry Greenwood, Ellis Peters, Robert Heinlein and Agatha Christie. I expect all reading has some influence on your writing, particularly if it is pure admiration at the talents of others.
