Hey at least you're putting yourseld out there ! Don't beat yourself up for the rate your releasing at.
To actually answer your question, I would say that right now the author that inspires me the most is Neal Shusterman (that made the nautorious Scythe triology). I really like how he intrudces his characters and the way he builds them up in the story. It gives an amzing depth to the story and is really pleasing to read.
