My favourite author is Jeffrey Archer. At an age of 68 years old, there are many interesting facts about him:

1. He was a Member of Parliament and Deputy Chairman of the Conservative Party.
2. He was sentenced to a total of four years' imprisonment for being guilty of perjury and perverting the course of justice
3. Archer wrote books in prison which sold millions of copies worldwide
4. He was the youngest Member of Parliament
5. His wife is a scientist specialising in solar power

If you ever catch me reading, it's either the Bible or a Jeffrey Archer-written book in my hands. Archer writes his books in short but interesting chapters, leaving you to want to know what happens next. Being a man with political background, many of his books are written based on politics with complicated plots that'll keep me thinking throughout the whole book. His books are the only fiction ones that I have ever enjoyed reading.

One thing I find respectable about Jeffrey Archer is that though he fell from a politician to a jailbird, he managed to use the time in jail to write 'diaries' in prison that sold worldwide. From an incident that many would look on as a destroyed future, he turned things around and used it to make himself even more famous. Also, many people including myself, was able to know of what prison life is like after reading his book.
