My favorite writer is Nicholas Sparks. He is an American novelist, screenwriter and producer.
Oh, I think I've heard the name, what books has he written?
He has written several international bestsellers and 11 romantic drama novels which some have been used in films.
Oh really, what movies?
His most famous book is "The Notebook" which was also made into a movie. Pretty much my favorite movie of all time. 
Oh yeah, I think it's on Netflix or something. When was he born, though, he must be really old
