This list is by no means complete as I love to read. (Shhh...if you ask those who know me best they will tell you that I devour books like an addict needs a fix.) Right now I am entrenched in the fantasy/paranormal genre, which is quite evident by my list below. However I am a closet romance junkie too. My tastes are eclectic and at times down right goofy. What can I say I am me! Please check out these authors, they are exceptionally talented and I can only dream of being listed someday on someone else's list with them.

Robert Jordan http://www.dragonmount.com/RobertJordan/ (We lost Robert Jordan 9-16-2007, when he lost his fight with Cardiac Amyloidosis. He was one of the most prolific writers of our time and this list of authors had to include this creative genius! He is and will be an inspiration not only to me but to many other writers as well.)
