Lit Author Analysis - Continued (links fixed)

I noticed in previous Author Analysis threads, all the links produced Error messages when clicked on - so I've compiled them - I think I've gotten the links right so they'll work from now on.

Also - I'm wondering if any of the mods would like to nominate the next Author after Miller, since it's been more than 2 years since the last thread.

Offhand, Zahn and Michael Kube-McDowell seem like good examples of authors that haven't been covered yet. Maybe some of the newest ones - like the Empire & Rebellion authors, might do as well.

Thoughts?

I am suprised Tom Veitch is missing from the list.
Funny to see Randy Stradley's pseudonym is included...

 

John Whitman for the Galaxy of Fear series, Alex Wheeler for the Rebel Force series, and Ryder Windham for a large number of books, also spring to mind as worth covering at some point.

 

Are those authors who primarily work on sourcebooks prohibited from this list? A lot of the work Daniel Wallace, Jason Fry, Abel Peña, etc etc, have done isn't strictly summary/review so much as compiling what we already know and then elaborating on it, sometimes to an extreme degree (and frequently written in an "in-universe" POV as well).

 

Given that Dan Wallace was included, I would guess others could be, as well - Bill Slavicsek from West End Games would spring to mind.

 

Ah right -- I scanned down the list but didn't see his name the first time.

 

Which one was that?

 

Welles Hartley.
