So who do you read?

Recently a reader asked about authors I like to read. I thought some of you might be interested in that question. In the category historical dramatization, i.e. historical fiction where the fiction comes from animating the characters, I tip my hat to Jeff Shaara, Matt Braun and Lauren Estleman. For traditional westerns my hat tips go to Max McCoy and Dusty Richards. Dusty gets a special tip for all the help he’s given me over the years. Get into one of his stories and you can smell saddle leather. Last but not least, a hat tip goes to Robert B. Parker. That man could sure write dialog. When I read or write believable dialog that nails the character, it sounds like Parker. So there you have it. Every one of these authors sets an inspirational standard for me. I bet you’d enjoy them as much as I do.
