My favourite author at present has gotta be Dan Brown! Brown's a genius in my opinion! Terry Pratchett's novels are also great to read, I also enjoy Agatha Christie's Poirot Series~

Christian Fiction: I like Robert Whitlow and Kristen Heitzmen. A really new author, Scott Philip Stewart, wrote The Healing of Ryne O'Casey, one of the best books I have read in a long time. 
Has anyone read any Judith Pella books?
Other fiction: The Cape Ann by Faith Sullivan, a rival for To Kill a Mockingbird.

Right now my favorite author is Frank Peretti, author of 'Monster' and "The Visitation."
...Monster was kind of good but I found it a bit childish (could be me, though), but The Visitation was really good. It revolved around the idea of a "fake Christ" stirring up trouble in a little wheat-town in the West.

Robert Anson Heinlein, so many great books.
For me Tolkein is not even close as a potential favorite author. That is NOT to say his works fail in any way, it is just the small number of works he finished.
With Heinlein you can omit 5-10 works and still have some left that are peoples favorites.

Ted Dekker, C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, Bram Stoker, George MacDonald, and about any author who doesn't bore you to tears like some of the modern ones whom I shall kindly not name....

Ernest Hemingway. His brisk style is just perfect, and you can analyse his themes endlessly.

Mark Dice. A conservative activist who speaks the truth and nothing but the truth on political issues.

A few came to mind, Marilynne Robinson, Tim O'Brien and Alice Munroe for short stories.
Of course ask this question in a week/month etc another list springs up
but these are the people I thought of

The best carpentry and specialty building around
I am my wife's biggest fan. Her first book published , Angel in the Shadows, was named to AOL's Top Ten Most Challenged List for 2010.
It was the only Christian book on the list. It was branded as "The Christian alternative to Stephanie Meyer's Twilight".
I work as her first editor. Lisa has 2 more books which will be out this year. She has an adult history mystery ready that I think will be a huge hit. Yes I'm biased but I read a lot and she has a hit with this one. The Angel Series is for young adult readers 12 and up. The adult novel, which I won't name, was a surprise I didn't expect because of the different writing style. We use the young adult series as a door to reach into the hearts of unsaved teens giving testimonies and stories at schools and churches around the country. We were able to get the book into secular areas because we avoided the word Christian. Footnotes in the story keep it from being preachy. The footnotes are referenced in the end of the story so the reader can reference where the scripture came from.
