Well, actually the not Robert Jordan and not George Martin comments work for my stuff, so far anyway.
Comparison wise, David Gemmell would be good, or Peter Morwood, or even David Webber's fantasies.
I'd be flattered if someone compared my writing style to Patricia McKillip, but it wouldn't be accurate. The difficulty is separating out authors I admire from authors whose writing styles are similar to my own.
And, of course, if this is a marketing exercise, they are going to pick big name authors to compare against, even if it's not really a close match.
