What is everyone's favorite author, and why? Mine is Ted Dekker, a writer of suspense/thriller style novels. He has this uncanny and complex mind that he uses to tie in multiple series of books into each other without it seeming stretched, causing reality-bending circles of events which one doesn't even realize until you read enough of his books. It's quite amazing, and he also has some of the best insight into humankind I have ever seen.
