Quickly becoming one of my favorite authors

Anthony Horowitz. I know, I know. He's a "children's" author. At least, that is what libraries think. I would say he's at least a Teen author (as all his main characters are at least teens) and I might even go beyond that and compare him with John Gilstrap, who writes about teens, but for adults.

Either way, both his Alex Rider series and his Power of Five series are fantastic. I recommend listening to these books (all you audiobook fans out there). Oh yeah, and he created Foyle's War.

His blog post about pitching a tv series in LA is hilarious.
