Comparison of accomplished authors

I just finished reading an Anne McGaffery trilogy, "Petabea", and as I reflect on the experience I actually feel that there are not a few authors here who are equal or perhaps better than her. I have loved her writing for quite a long time, and my comments are not meant in any way to demean her skills. They are rather comments on how well some of you do and how pleased I am that some of you have chosen to put themselves out on the open market and give it a go.
Frankly, I prefer period pieces, with the gowns and social mores of the 19th century with a bit of Science Fiction put into the mix. Though none of what I am writing just now is 19th century, rather it is something rather different from that.
One of the things I enjoyed about reading when I was younger was the use of words that forced me to keep an open dictionary beside me. :) Asimov was especially competent at confounding the young reader.
Some of you are extremely encouraging toward me and I am greatly thankful for you. Writing for me is "backbreaking" hard work. It does not come as easily as it apparently does for some of you.
Much peace
