As a hard core reader of hard Science Fiction and great literature mostly of the adventure type I am something of an expert on good authors!  I have read and had the chance to meet some of the best some still living and many who have passed. While I have met some of the following these are some of  those who I consider to be in the top ranked authors,
Jack  Williamson, Robert Heinlein Andre Norton, Jack Vance, David Drake, David Weber, Sharon Lee & Steve Miller, Andre Dumas, Mark Twain, Robert Lewis Stevenson, Patricia Briggs, Madelyn Alt,  Robert Jordan,
To ruses I must add a new name Debora Geary. I have her Modern Witch Series and now Witches on Parole book one!  Is literally one of if not the best book I have ever read! The writing is good and well crafted but it is the story telling ability that will take this woman to the very heights of the literary field. She puts Hemingway, Homer or Shakespeare to shame. Should the woman turn that talent to another genre it she will take it by storm and leave the Fantasy world a much poorer place.

Do your self a big favor and try her books.  The Iliad and the Odessy were some of my first books that created a word spell that made the world that I was reading about more real than the one I lived in. I was five years old when I read them with assistance for the big words from my Mom. Others have made the worlds they write about almost as real but Mrs. Geary has done an even better job than Homer.
