I love writers all across the board, but one who influenced me very directly at the beginning was Mary Renault. Her ability to bring ancient history to life through her vivid storytelling and rich character development has always captivated me. Renault's novels, particularly her historical fiction set in ancient Greece, have had a profound impact on my own writing style and approach to storytelling.

One writer who was also greatly influenced by Mary Renault is Tanith Lee. Lee, a prolific and versatile writer known for her fantasy and science fiction works, has often cited Renault as a major influence on her writing. Like Renault, Lee has a talent for creating immersive worlds and complex characters that resonate with readers long after they have finished the book.
