  • My Favorite Authors...

    Ok once long ago these were the authors I read whatever they had out-

    • Irene Radford (Dragon Nimbus, History,...)- she was my first author I read from the 'adult' section in the book store- the 'Sci-Fi/Fantasy' section.  Not the young adults...
    • David Eddings* (ah, such happy remembers.  I read the Belgariad series (five books) in a week...I borrowed them from this geeky kid name Aaron one summer... 10 years later we still have our own copies though one set is in storage...)
    • Anything Star Wars...ah before the prequels and Clone Wars.  Han, Leia, Luke, Chewie, and the droids- this series got me to read!  READ

    Honorable Mentiones- Maggie Furey, Joanne Bertin, Anne McCaffrey*

    Not so long ago- Sara Douglass (from aussie) was one of my top authors...Now not so much but maybe cause I havent read her good stuff for a while...

    Now-

    • Anne Bishop (Black Jewel Trilogy)
    • Patricia Briggs (Mercy Thomspon*, and earlier works)
    • Mercedes Lackey (Elementral Masters*, Five Hunderd Kindgoms*...)
    • Jennifer Fallon (any of her work...also from Aussie)

    Honorable Mentiones- Jim Butcher (Dresden Files*), Maria V. Snyder, Harry Potter* (goes without saying right?), Fiona McIntosh (another Aussie...notice a trend here?)

    Books on my read pile (new authors to me)-

    • Robin Hobb (also from aussie...ok I read her Assassin's books...the first 2... but I'm willing to retried them and others she has written...)
    • Kathatine Kerr (I have serveral of her series...havent ever read her...)
    • Greg Keyes
    • CE Murphy
    • And many more...

    So there is a small look at my books.  Remember, Aaron and I have probably over 1,600 (if not more) books; mostly fantasy.  And we like different kinds of authors, series, fantasy but we do have similiar books.  Ones with an (*) by them is ones he got me on.

    Ok off I go to write or goof off.   I'm sitting on 20,801 words right now...almost 2,000 for the day...
