I have been re-reading some old favourites. Dick Francis is a british author whose mystery books always have something to do with racing. Also, Deborah Smith--Where the Heart Is--lovely book set in Southern USA about a girl who champions a boy from 'the wrong side of the tracks' and how their lives eventually come together. I have read several others that she has written but this one continues to be my favourite. Linda Howard, Jennifer Crusie (do NOT read any of her books on an airplane because they will have you eying your seatmates and squirming in your seat!!), Nora Roberts, Sandra Brown--I have a shelf of goto books that always deliver. Thanks for some new authors that I will definitely check out.
