There are so many writers that I'd love to pay tribute to. Weeding it down to 5 is a difficult task.

Writing

Ok, here are five writers I feel have touched me in some way:

Ann Fairbairn- "Five Smooth Stones" can't describe the way this writer touched me. Especially as a woman in an interracial marriage.

Sylvia Plath- excellent writer, a way of turning a phrase that makes one see things from a different angle.

Jim Butcher- frothy and delicious. I love Harry Dresdan and can't wait until the next book comes out.

Miguel Ruiz- "The Four Agreements" helps me remember to keep it simple but book has many layers.

And last but not least

Jane Austin- What can I say? I'm an anglophile.
