It is impossible to link any book of the Old Testament to any one writer. There are in fact two Books of Chronicles. It may be based partly on the Book of Samuel and the two Books of Kings. Ezra is thought to be the writer, but as said above this is unlikely.
Because the author is unknown and will probably remain so, he is commonly referred to by scholars as the Chronicler.
Answer:Jewish tradition is that Ezra wrote the book of Chronicles (Divrei Hayamim), and its last portion was completed by Nehemiah (Talmud, Bava Bathra 15a). Answer:The author is not stated and is usually referred to as the Chronicler. It is believed that I & II Chronicles were written by Ezra.
The books of the Chronicles in the Old Testament do not have stated authors. It is likely they were written by a scribe or scribes shortly after the events occurred.
Answer:
According to tradition, Ezra wrote 1 and 2 Chronicles.
Halley's Bible Handbook tells us:
"Author
I and II Chronicles, Ezra and Nehemiah, were, originally, one series of works. Jewish tradition has it that Ezra was the author.
Frequent reference is made to other histories, annals and official archives: 'The chronicles of David' (I Chronicles 27:24); 'The book of Samuel the seer, the book of Nathan the prophet, and the book of Gad the seer.' (I Chronicles 29:29); 'The book of Nathan the prophet, the prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite and the visions of Iddo the seer' (II Chronicles 9:29); 'The book of Shemaiah the prophet, and of Iddo the seer' (II Chronicles 12:15); 'The story of the prophet Iddo' (II Chronicles 13:22); 'The book of Jehu the son of Hanani, who is mentioned in the book of the kings of Israel' (II Chronicles 20-34); 'The story of the book of the kings' (II Chronicles 24-27); 'The acts of Uzziah, which Isaiah wrote' (II Chronicles 26:22); 'The vision of Isaiah the prophet' (II Chronicles 32:32); 'The book of the kings of Judah and Israel' (II Chronicles 32:32); 'The sayings of the seers' (II Chronicles 33:19).
Thus, it is seen, the author had access to journals, diaries and public records that are not now known. He also had access to previous Old Testament books. Guided of God, he transcribed that which suited the purpose of his own writing. So, in this part of the Old Testament, we have a double narrative.
Significance of the Double Narrative
Believing, as we do, that the whole Bible is the Word of God, designed for Universal use, we wonder if God had some purpose other than Ezra's immediate need in resettling the land in thus repeating TWICE over this part of the sacred story.
Repetition means Importance. At least, it is a caution not to neglect this part of The Bible. Even though we think of Kings and Chronicles as rather dry reading, yet they contain the story of God's dealings with His people; and, now and then, in reading, we find therein some of the finest jewels of Scripture."

Who wrote Chronicles?
