I have loved everything of theirs I've ever read.

Those are the first two that come to mind, but there really are many more.

I've met a reasonable number of science-fiction writers, since I tend to hang out with those kinds of people and have gone to a couple of conferences and workshops in my time. All of the ones I've met are quite nice, but then the authors in any field who go to these things usually are quite happy to meet their readers.
