Authors, where new books is an automatic buy?

[Nr1Humanoid]

Jeffery Deaver
Jackie Collins
John Grisham
Bentley Little

I don't need to know anything about the books, I buy them with no hesitation.

Dean Koontz, James Patterson and Clive Cussler used to be on the list but not anymore, with them I stick to the library, if I even bother.

The only person I would say fits this for me is J.K. Rowling. I used to be the same way about Stephen King, but not anymore.

For me, it'd be Neil Gaiman, Paul Cornell, Nagaru Tanigawa, Paul Magrs.

[Baldobomb-22-OH-MAN!!!]

George R.R. Martin... if he ever gets off his duff and writes it.

[Ryback on a Pole!]

J.K Rowling when she was finishing up the Harry Potter series. I used to wake up early to dash down to WH Smiths to buy a copy first day they were out.

Now, the only one is Jeff Lindsay. I do eagerly await the release of the next Dexter book


Edit: Not an author exactly, but I have been eagerly awaiting the release of Zero Six Brave which is out... now

Stephen King. I realize he's "fast food" of the literary world, but I've always loved his books.

Same here. I was a massive King fan for years, tracking down every scrap I could find by or about him, every uncollected short story from every magazine, every editorial essay he had published, even re-bought the GI Joe Crystal Ball figure because he wrote the bio, that's how insane my collecting of his stuff got. Around the time of Gerald's Game and Dolores Claiborne, I finally got fed up with him enough that I stopped actually reading some of his stuff, but kept buying them. Around the time of From a Buick 8, I gave up almost completely.
