George R.R. Martin

Bernard Cornwell (oddly enough I'm not much into his Sharpe books but I'll buy anything else he writes and he does write a lot)

Robert Harris (easy enough since he writes a new novel only every three years or so)

Wow until I got to the second page I couldn't believe no one mentioned George R.R. Martin, Maybe because his books come out only about what feels like once a decade my other must buys are

Neil Gaiman
Eric Garcia
Elmore Lenord
Stephen J Canell (Produced the A-Team and Greatest American Hero) his books are quick fun reads

Wow, at first I thought this must have been my post. Both Palahniuk and Bantock came through town on tour last year. If only they'd have gotten Coupland on his "Hey Nostradamus!" tour to complete the trifecta...

Huh, that's not as many as I would've expected... too many authors out there are one-hit-wonders, or I like the one topic but not the others they write, or...
