Karen Robards comes to mind as one of my favorites, and like you I love S.E.P.'s books. I think once I get hooked on an author I tend to buy everything they write. Nora Robert's is also another favorite. I haven't read your books yet, but I do have them on my list. That's what so great about Fresh Fiction, I find so many new authors to enjoy.

I've had S.E.P.'s books for a long time but read my first one only last week, "It Had to Be You." I certainly enjoyed it very much. I'm looking forward to reading the next Chicago Stars book soon. I enjoy Nora Roberts's books as well and used to read them avidly, but she has written so many that if I read all of hers, I'd scarcely have time for any other writers.

I especially enjoy Jayne Ann Krentz in her various guises. Probably her understated humor is what I like the most as well as her inventiveness. I've been reading and collecting her books since 1981. Elizabeth Lowell is another oldie that I really like. A somewhat newer author is Susan Grant. Her imagination knows few limits. I'm mostly staying away from newer authors because I have too many other books to read, but I have been getting Michelle Moran's historical books about Egypt. They are fascinating.

yes, I love SEP I think I have all of her books. I also love Susan Mallery, Kay Stockholm, Nora Roberts, carla Neggars, Linda Lael Miller, Robyn Carr, Sherryl Woods, Fern Michaels, Susan Wiggs, Deidre Martin. Ha I could probably go on and on but those are the first that come to mind.
(Kim Atchue-Cusella 8:55pm October 10, 2009)

I'm going to say Sherryl Woods. I think she has grown from her small series books to her current novels. I love her Sweet Magnolias books.
(Summer Sharp 9:59pm October 10, 2009)

I really like Sherrilyn Kenyon's books. I love the mix of fantasy, paranormal, and historical fiction!
(Megan G. Rey 10:52pm October 10, 2009)

One newer author I've been reading is Pamela Clare. I think she just gets better and better. Linda Howard is another author I've enjoyed over the years.
(Mitzi Hinkey 11:39pm October 10, 2009)

I have also been reading SEP for a long time now & always enjoy. My current favorite, favorite is Annie Solomon. I am rediscovering her work.
(Mary Preston 12:02pm October 11, 2009)

I love Sherryl Woods. Her series have grown so much in the last few years. I just did a reread of all her trilogies and series.
Robyn Carr is also a fav. I just discovered Susan Mallery and loved her Buchanan series. Lisa Kleypas's historicals are among my faves. So many favorite authors...
(Louise Jacobson 12:48pm October 11, 2009)

Vicki Lewis Thompson, Tara Taylor Quinn, Karen Robards, Fern Michaels... I could go on an on with the many wonderful writers I consider part of my HUGE inner circle, but if I have to pick one author whom I think has grown the most, it would probably be Carly Phillips. I've always loved her work, but now it positively calls me and I can't resist buying each new book the day it comes out.
(Donna Holmberg 1:14am October 11, 2009)

Stephanie Laurens is 1 of my all time favorites. Everything she writes is gold. I also love Julia Quinn, Linda Howard, Victora Alexander, Tami Hoag, Nora Roberts are just a few aothers.
(Sara Hurt 1:22am October 11, 2009)

I love all the authord mentioned too Some are quite new to me like christie Ridgway or Christie Craid Just yesterday I was reading the last Tracy Anne Warren and it was a beautiful story I can't wait for her next release in january !
(Joeelle Jappissont 3:22am October 11, 2009)

Interesting...first, Suzanne Brockmann, starting way-y-y back with her early days with Harlequin. Amazing how much she has grown as a writer! Second, Tami Hoag. Again, I first read her books when she was with H., but she switched genres and blew me out of the ballpark! I love her well-developed characters and complex plot lines. Anyone else read Linnea Sinclair and J. D. Ward? I also love Laurell K. Hamilton's series about the Fey (Meredith Gentry); but I do not care for her more popular line: Anita Blake. No accounting for taste, I suppose. Thanks for being so open to discussion.

So many wonderful authors, and so little time.

It is interesting you should mention Susan Elizabeth Phillips because I am currently reading What I Did For Love and I just love it. Ms. Philips is a "new" author for me and I'm sorry I have missed out on her earlier works.

But there are no worries on this end; I will track down the previous works, buy and read them all!
(Tracey Dent 7:48am October 11, 2009)

I read so many different authors, but am always impressed with their ability to hold you for the time that it takes to read a good book. Kate Morton is currently on my list as someone to watch and also Sarah Langan.
(Joanne Reynolds 8:22am October 11, 2009)

I read so many books but my favorites are J D Robb aka Nora Roberts, Linda Howard, Jayne Ann Krentz and Diana Palmer; I've read and re read everything of theirs I own; when a new book comes out I'm the first in line to purchase. But there are so many new authors now that I would be hard pressed to name just one that has become a need for me: Christine Feehan, Sarah McCarty, Cynthia Eden Lora Leigh just to name a few. I love reading!
(Diane Sadler 8:43am October 11, 2009)

I read a lot of different authors, but I love Beverly Barton, Catherine Coulter, Robyn Carr, Stephanie Bond, and cannot get enough of Janet Evanovich. With each book they get better and better. I've dicovered new authors through Fresh Fiction and some I really like and have started looking for their books too.Katie Collins, Julia Harper, J.L. Wilson to name a few. Just hope they never quit writing!and I will never quit reading!!
(JoAnn White 8:58am October 11, 2009)

My go-to authors are Julia
Quinn, Luanne Rice, and
Sabrina Jeffries, just to name
a few. But two authors who
really impressed me recently
and broke through my inner
circle are Marilyn Brant - who
wrote the fabulous According
to Jane - and Libby Malin -
who wrote Fire Me. These are
two authors who are now on my
to read list.

What a great contest! I recently discovered Stephanie Laurens and am a huge fan! Another recent discovery is Monica McCarty, who I discovered through another amazing author, Veronica Wolff! Gotta love those Highlanders! ;~)
(Stefanie Finn 1:02pm October 11, 2009)

I'll read anything by Karen Rose, Suzanne Brockmann, SEP, Cindy Gerard, and Robyn Carr. Recently, I've come across some new to me authors that are quickly becoming part of that first list. These include Christy Reece, Kylie Brant, and Catherine Spangler. In truth there are just too many to list here! However, I love seeing some of the authors others have listed. Will have to check them out!
(Kara Conrad 1:11pm October 11, 2009)

Oh my goodness, my circle of authors is just to large to list. There are those that I have enjoyed for years and many new ones to explore and add to th TBR pile, said pile now at 25. There are just too many books and not enough time.
(Elizabeth Parzino 3:16pm October 11, 2009)

My circle of authors is huge! The leaders are Julie Garwood,Sherrily Kenyon, Christine Feehan and Iris Johansen.
(Patsy Hagen 4:46pm October 11, 2009)

I have even more as I love to read and have way too many good authors..what a full room I would have if they could all be here with me. ha ha susan L.

Wow, she is reviewing all my favorite authors. Thanks for the chance to win.
(Yvonne Butler 6:44pm October 11, 2009)

One of my favorite author is Jayne Ann Krentz I don't think I've ever been let down by one of her books. I like the fact that depending what kind of mood I'm in I can find a book from her to read. Modern day, historical she has a book for you. I also love Lora Leigh. Sherrilyn Kenyon and Sharon Sala to name a few.
(Sherry Strode 7:18pm October 11, 2009)

Madeline Hunter has been terrific right from the start. "By Arrangenment", her first book, is wonderful. I reread it regularly. I also read Liz Carlyle's, Eloisa James' and Jo Beverley's books as soon as they come out. There are many fine writers out there. New writers, Sherry Thomas and Meredith Duran, have pushed the boundries of historical romance and I devour their books.
(Elaine Carlini-Davis 8:27pm October 11, 2009)

Linda Lael Miller has been my longtime favorite. I love how she builds on characters and they are featured in multiple books. I've recently got my mother-in-law hooked on her books!
(Marsha Saenz-Jones 8:37pm October 11, 2009)

Danielle Steele and Nora Robers are definately in my inner circle. I've recently discovered Linda Lael Miller, but my all time favorite is Catherine Anderson and Carolyn Davidson!

Julie Gqarwood has always been a favorite. Have enjoyed Nora Roberts, Johanna Lindsay, Linda Lael Miller, Jo Putney, Patricia Rice, and many, many more. Hated to name any, because I knew I'd leave someone out.
(Patricia Barraclough 10:12pm October 12, 2009)

I love Nora Roberts, Daniel Steels, Dean Kontz, and Steven King! I love books. I love a variety I guess you can say from scarey to Mystery to Romance! They make a wonderful getaway!
(Jeanette Huston 1:58pm October 14, 2009)

I love to read Eileen Goudge and Barbara Delinsky. Also Brenda Novak and Marie Bostwick. So many books and not enough time . So many great authors to name. Just love to read.
