For me my Favourite Authors are, and why!!
Charles Frank - Tracy In Trouble was the story that I read on this site and I've never looked back since!
C.Maxwell -Skirt Day is very very good, but if you get the chance then I recommend The Game, this was one of the authors earlier works that for some reason was never finished but in my opinion is better than Skirt Day
Quale - You Bet Your Wife, it was this story or story premise that gave me the kick to start writing myself so I own a mention to him. (some of you may wish I'd never read that story)
