Tolkien (his favorite), C.S. Lewis, and F.Scott Fitzgerald. Other writers who influence his work are J.K. Rowling, Jonathan Swift, Issac Asimov, Bernard Cornwell, and Victor Hugo. And of course, Voltaire, the man rightly distinguished from all others, who W. Alexander considers history and literature’s most influential person.
