Feeding The Muse

Favorite Authors

I will read anything short of crime novels...and manuals on nuclear fusion. My 'To Be Read' pile has never (and probably will never) see an end. I cannot pass a bookstore without going in, I'm addicted to Ebay's book section and thank God for those 5 for $1.00 bins in front of the gift shop at work.

Sometimes I'm in the mood to read romance novels, sometimes epic saga's, sometimes women's glamour fics.

Sometimes, I bypass fiction all together and going on a 'writing book/magazine' frenzy. I devour anything about the writing process and writers lives. This is usually followed by a long fruitful writing spree as I am muchly inspired.

Authors I buy without hardly ever having to read the back covers are:

Paullina Simons (The Bronze Horseman Trilogy) An exquisite love story set in WW2 Russsia. Her writing style has a wonderful lyrical quality. It's so very rich and moving.

Diana Gabaldon (The Outlander Series) A time travel love story with a gorgeous 18th century Scotsman.She writes in such a way that you are experiencing the history along with the characters instead of just going on with long expositions of historical data.

Edward Rutherford(sp?) His historical novels are incredible. Rich and full.

Julia Quinn: Wonderfully romantic, sexy and funny as well.

Nicole Jordan: She's a bit steamier than your regular romance novelist, she's almost closer to erotica. Absolutely gorgeous love stories.
This is a such a short list and no where near all my favorites but they're among my sure bets.
