I have chosen the man Stephen Edwin King as my hero because of his work in the field of literature. He has had 56 novels (7 under the pen name Richard Bachman), 5 non-fiction books, and many, many short stories published. Many of which have been adapted into major motion pictures, which in a few instances he has made cameos. King has received many awards for literature, for individual works as well as collective achievement. His books have sold more than 350 million copies.

Stephen King is my hero due to his brilliant storytelling. King manages to create thousand page books that keep you interested, and guessing, right up until the very end. I also enjoy his inclusion of the multi-verse he uses in The Dark Tower series, and how the events in those novels are hinted at to influence other stories. I appreciate styles like H.P. Lovecraft more, but King's character heavy stories are more connectable, and have more of a chance to have sequels. For all these reasons, Stephen King is my favourite author and hero.
