This is an author who you’ll automatically buy their newest release, no questions asked, and read it as soon as you get home.
For me, it’s Stephen King! I’ve rarely been disappointed by a King novel (although, ironically, one of his latest releases Fairy Tale that I preordered actually was a miss for me. Still doesn’t deter my love for him!)
I think it’s awesome that there are writers in this world we would spend money for at the drop of a hat, it’s a type of trust we have with the author to basically guarantee enjoyment from their latest work.
So who’s your automatic author?

Will Wight.
Brandon Sanderson, Michael Connelly, Michael J Sullivan, Travis Baldree, Will Wight, Nick Offerman, and many others.
George RR Martin… sadly…
My wife is Stephen King also. First in line whenever she can be.
Mine is probably anything from the Tolkien estate.
V E Schwab
Malcolm Gladwell
Silvia Moreno-Garcia, John Gwynne, Erin A Craig, Joe Abercrombi, Chris Woodin, Coco Mellors
Karin Slaughter, Kate Alice Marshall, Chevy Stevens and I will always grab a Harlan Coben for a dependable, quick and easy read.
Charlie Huston & Carl Hiaasen
Perhaps I just have a thing for the initials CH. Maybe I should check out Colleen Hoover and Chuck Hogan.
Chuck Klosterman, too (except even though I’ve bought his last two books, I haven’t read them yet.)
Ruth Ware and Lucy Foley (two separate authors, not a writing duo, to be clear)
Don Winslow.
Salman Rushdie
Simon R Green
Anne Bishop
Larry Corriea
China Mieville
DeWitt
Jim Butcher, the Dresden Files.
Kyle Mills.
He took over writing the Mitch Rapp series after Vince Flynn passed.
Christopher Paolini, Will Wight
Jim Butcher; Stephen King; Orson Scott Card; and L.E. Modesitt, Jr.;
Sophie Kinsella and VE Schwab.
T. Kingfisher, Morïa Fowley-Doyle, Tana French, and Tamsyn Muir. I can’t choose a favorite.
Neil Gaiman. Peter F. Hamilton. Andy Weir. Raymond E. Feist.
Joe Abercrombie.
My mum is definitely Stephen King!
I wouldn’t say I have anyone, as I tend to read more classics, or non fiction!
R F Kuang and M L Wang. I haven’t loved everything Kuang has written, but she explores some interesting ideas.
Madeline Miller too.
Frederick backman
Madeline Miller and Sarah J Maas

Not buy, but read, Taylor Jenkins Reid

If he were still alive, Umberto Eco would be that for me. I’ve loved everything I’ve read by him.
