I love Emilie Richards.
Have you read any of Robyn Carr? Virgin River series is quite good.
I read alot of different authors: Debbie Macomber, Robyn Carr, James Patterson, Iris Johanson, Nora Roberts and JD Robb, Harlon Coben, Jodi Picolt, Jennifer Chiaverini, Cynthia Freeman was my favorite, but she died. I do love a good mystery, but I also have to mix in some of that feel good romance.

love all james patterson and iris johansen(eve Duncan series ) and tess gerritsen have all there books

Rudolfo Anaya, Sandra Cisneros & Victor Villasenor.

Linda Lael Miller!! But I also love Cathy Marie Hake, Deanne Gist, and Kelly Eileen Hake. Robin Jones Gunn is another of my loves too, along with Lori Wick. Really, if I could spend my days cooking, sewing, and reading, that's all I'd ever do. Dang that job!

light stuff--
MC BEATON, Agatha Raisin
Trisha Ashley

Andy McNab
Michael Connolly
Kathy Reichs
used to love P Cornwall and Tess Gerritson but sadly they've gone off.

I want to thank you for starting this thread. I jotted down some authors who I had never heard of and started with Diane Gabaldon of the Outlander series and have not put the book down since. I am on the second book of the series and am totaly engrossed in it.

Thanks again but I need to get back to my book.

I have read robyn. And most of the others you mentioned. I like a good variety. I love this thread.

I would have to say Des is my favorite author:

I love the Outlander series. It is interesting and well written. I can't wait for the next book in the series to come out.
