Alphabet Games

Suey made an alphabetical list of favorite authors, and well, how could I resist not doing that? My rules were:

1. No more than 2 authors per letter
2. The letter could be in either the first or last name
3. The author had to be someone I really liked - usually someone who has written several books, all of which I really liked. On a few difficult letters I had to pick authors who have only written one book that I've read -- but the really liked rule had to still apply.

If anyone knows any Q, U, or X people, let me know. This exercise has pointed out that I would fit nicely in the 'I' spot when I have published a hundred totally awesome books. Hehehe!! There is a need for me!
