Well I dont know much so I couldnt give you ten. only some:
1. Agatha Christie (mystery)
2. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (mystery)
3. Robert Ludlum (suspense)
4. Edgar Allan Poe (mystery)
5. Sydney Sheldon (suspense)
6. James Peterson (suspense)
it's my top mystery/suspense writers. I love detective mystery more than suspense, that's why Agatha Christie and Conan Doyle in the top list

I trust you, yet once you tell any of the Askers that actual description does not rely -- that they might desire to call the character based upon what the character's mum and dad might pick or names that have been difficulty-unfastened to the term/region -- the Asker gets p*ssed and says something like while you're unlikely to particularly answer their question, **** off. surely, i've got faith it extremely is youthful, greater green writers who try this. i do no longer remember ever utilising YA! to look for names, yet I do bear in strategies in center college normally surfing the cyber web, finding for names which bearing directly to my character's objective, character, etc. Naming a character is amazingly like naming a toddler, and you'd be conscious youthful mum and dad (and picture stars) are greater companies to giving their youngsters ridiculous names. whilst green writers think of of names, they think of, "what's unique? What sounds cool and diverse? What fits this character?" jointly as greater matured writers think of, "What makes the main experience? What might this character's mum and dad call their toddler?" merely as green writers are going to ask you for character's names or comments on character names, green writers are going to answer those variety of questions heavily. no person knows the final call, yet all and sundry has an opinion. You, expertise the pointlessness of such questions, of course locate it ridiculous, however the human beings who ask and answer nevertheless have faith that it particularly is significant. additionally, they might merely want a suited answer.
