message 4: by Aaron (new)

Aaron J | 5 comments My favorite author has to be a tie between many other authors with different styles. One author is Rick Riordan. His book stand out to me as Greek mythology and fantasy. Another author is Carrie Ryan. She has a dark and scary twist and horror. The last of my favorite authors is Erin Hunter. Erin Hunter loves to write books about nature. She has written many books about animals, this includes Seekers, about bears, Warriors, about cats, and her newest series, Survivors, which is about dogs. Erin, is inspired by a facination with the ferocity of the natural world.
