Yes. He also wrote short stories, but the novels are among his most famous works.

Not specifically, no. That is, he is certianly not primarily known as a "children's author", but older children might be able to enjoy some of his work. I started reading some of his works when I was about 14, but I was a clever little fucker.

That's 14 questions.

Is it Sir Terence David John Pratchett (since there is a special flavoured mafia mini game you are mastering starting shortly)?

5 Questions left

Robert Louis Stevenson

David John Moore Cornwell (19 October 1931 – 12 December 2020), aka John le Carré

You know that every guess after your one free guess counts as a question from the pool of 20?

Yes, but how many English authors of novels, that are well known in the US, have had their novels made into movies and television series.

Don't worry John Le Carre is my last guess.

This is not a guess...

we could consider the writer who wrote about the sleuth-friend of Doctor Watson...
